Email Providers

These are the email providers that work well for a website, a blog or a small business, grouped by what you need: a free inbox, business email on your own domain, or private and encrypted mail. Each page explains who the provider fits, whether it works with your domain, and where the free plan stops.

Every provider page also shows its SMTP settings, with a one-click check in the free SMTP Tester. Before you switch, run your domain through the DNS & Email Checker to see your MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. Looking for a free option? Start with free business email with your own domain.
