Google Apps for Business is a good choice for individuals. I use it for several accounts and it works lovely.

However, they recently stopped accepting free sign-ups and is now a paid service. $5/user/month won't break the bank.

Since you're an individual do you only pay $5/mo as 1 user? Also, do you have multiple accounts as one user or how exactly are you setting that up?

I signed up before the change to being a paid service, so am not paying unless I go over the 10 account limit.

Now its $5 per account. An account being in Googles own words:

"We consider a user to be the same as the number of distinct email inboxes you need. One user can have multiple email addresses, and a domain can have multiple aliases – these are included in the price for each user."
