I'm genuinely surprised no one has mentioned mxroute[1]. Thier pricing normally is pretty decent, but they keep the BF deals going pretty much all year [2].

I've been using them for 6 years with no issues. I use it now with all my domains and never have any deliverability issues.

The owner (Jar - one person shop again) is passionate about their email reputation for deliverability and is active on both lowendtalk and the dedicated sub Reddit.

I ended up comparing purleymail and mxroute - tested mxroute and stayed with them.

Been using mxroute for years, have multiple domains (they let you use unlimited domains IIRC), never had any issues.

Great info on setting up stuff like SPF, DKIM. Easy to set quotas on accounts, set up catch-alls etc.

Never had an issue with deliverability or anything like that.

Probably sound like a shill, but I think it's such a good option, and really reasonably priced. I have a perpetual black friday deal, and I pay like 15 USD a year!!

Their black Friday special does not seem to work (at present, anyway). I followed the .blackfriday link, tried to sign up and got a notice that "Black Friday 2024 - BF2024 Small plan is currently unavailable". Also, on the .blackfriday site, when they say "Price: $15 / 3 years", do they mean $15 per year for three years, or $15 for three years?

You're not concerned about the bus factor? What happens if the owner suddenly disappears?

[simfree]

Purelymail's About page lists one person, and the product is in beta.

MXRoute has years of track record, more than 1 employee, and has good tools like IMAPSync to enable easy duplication of your emails for backup or migration to a different platform.

Fair. I didn't phrase my question correctly.

It wasn't really about MXRoute specifically, but the bus factor in general when trusting your email to a tiny company.
