I might be wrong, but I also think it is expensive. When I can have a 5 family plan from office365, including, word, excel, powerpoint, outlook, etc, with 1TB per account, 60 minutes of skype calls per account, etc, for 10 per month, 25 per month (for 5 people) only for email seems too expensive to me. The only thing lacking is custom email address.

Premium outlook allows you to use a custom domain now. So long as it's registered with GoDaddy.

I would never register any domain I care about with GoDaddy. I did it once, but their spammy dark pattern practices really turned me off.

Some time ago, Fastmail had a basic plan at like 10$/year for 250mb of storage and 1 alias. No Contact/Calandar sync, tho.

I thought that was a pretty good plan for most people. Unfortunately, they dropped this plan and the cheapest option is now 30$/year.

It's £25 a year or £2 a month.

The standard plan is $5 per user per month, so for 5 users that's $25/mo.

The basic is $3 though. I have migrated all my private emails I've ever sent or received (some tens of thousands, starting from 90s) to Fastmail. Still well under the 2GB limit of the basic plan.
