A month ago, I was very close to starting a company subscription, mostly for emails. Ended up going with Hetzner where I’ve got my server anyway and their email service is 100 accounts for the price of (their web hosting service), whereas gsuite and proton wanted about the same amount for every user.
It’s not a significant amount for single digit users, but I’m just glad it’s not going to someone publicly supporting Trump.
Same with web.de/GMX in Germany.
I never quite understood why people are willing to pay so much money for email subscriptions when they can get whole webhosting packages for half the price. For some its probably lazyness and for others its the lack of knowledge that webhosting includes emailsy
For me it was the lack of knowledge tbh. I did already have a Hetzner VPS, but that doesn’t come with emails - I had to also add in the web hosting, which I’m currently not using (yet).
In theory, you could install Plesk, cpanel or anything similiar to easily manage emails on a VPS, but this comes with all the administrative tasks of keeping your server up to date.

I was very close to installing MailCow, but I realized it might not be the best idea tbh
