Professional email, sensible pricing
Affordable email hosting that starts with what you need
Use professional mailboxes on your own domains with SMTP sending, webmail, IMAP and forwarding aliases. Start from $1.20 per month for one mailbox and 2 GB of storage.
The $1.20 custom plan is billed immediately. Eligible standard plans include a two-day free trial.
Lower email costs without hiding the limits
Compare plans using the resources that affect everyday work, not a headline that implies everything is unlimited.
Plans from $1.20 per month
The custom plan includes one mailbox and 2 GB of storage for a simple professional address on your domain.
No per-domain fee
Every plan supports unlimited domains, so a second brand or project does not automatically require another subscription.
Essential access included
Read and send mail through webmail or compatible IMAP and SMTP clients using standard encrypted connections.
Scale by real capacity
Add mailbox, forwarder and storage capacity from the Plan Manager when your needs grow, within the displayed add-on limits, rather than paying upfront for resources you do not use.
Transparent value
What makes custom-domain email affordable?
Affordable email is not merely the lowest advertised number. The practical cost includes how many people need inboxes, how much mail they retain, whether forwarding aliases can replace extra mailboxes, and whether adding another domain triggers another bill. Clear limits make that comparison possible.
SMTP Zen starts at $1.20 per month for one mailbox with 2 GB of storage. The Starter plan is $2.99 per month for five mailboxes and 5 GB, while larger plans add capacity. All plans support unlimited domains, but mailboxes, forwarders, storage and sending are not unlimited.
Choose a cost-effective setup in three steps
Match paid resources to people and workflows instead of creating a mailbox for every visible address.
- 1
Count real mailbox users
Identify who needs a private login, stored messages and an authenticated outbound identity.
- 2
Route role addresses efficiently
Use forwarding aliases for addresses such as info or billing when they can reach an existing mailbox.
- 3
Compare storage and sending needs
Select the plan whose allowances fit normal use, then review usage before adding capacity.
Professional email features for small budgets
A lower price should still give you standard access methods and a credible address on a domain you control.
Webmail, IMAP and SMTP
Use browser-based webmail or connect compatible desktop and mobile clients. SMTP also supports application notifications within the plan’s sending allowance.
Domains and forwarding aliases
Host multiple domains, create memorable alternate addresses and route selected incoming mail without buying a stored inbox for every function.
Honest plan boundaries
Unlimited domains describes domain attachment only. Review the mailbox, forwarder, storage and daily sending allowances before choosing. Paid mailbox, forwarder and storage capacity can be increased later; online reductions are not currently available.
Who affordable email hosting suits
Freelancers and sole traders
Replace a generic personal address with a professional domain inbox while keeping monthly overhead predictable.
Small businesses
Give core team members mailboxes and route public role addresses without paying for unnecessary seats.
New products and side projects
Start a credible email presence on more than one domain and add capacity only when the project earns it.
