This service is run by online buddies of mine who ran VPS hosting for a long time. I expect it to be pretty good, though I’m not currently using it. mxroute.com is also around and comparable, though I think it is only sited in the US for now. Cranemail also has a US location.
Posting because people have been asking about non-Google email. I’m not connected with the company, I just know some of the guys running it. They have an affiliate program that I haven’t signed up for, though maybe I should ;). The above link is non-affiliated.
Edit: link is from May 2025, not brand new, still works.
I think the company is Canadian but I haven’t checked. BuyVM was defnitely Canadian and was run by the same guy. You have to assume that email is never private anyway, since the person at the other end probably is on gmail, may have used CrapGPT, and so on.
Hm, interesting. The website at least doesn’t look to me like it’s Canadian:
Of course it could still be, and email privacy is of course endangered by many other things. However, if someone does go through the hassle of shifting everything to a different email account, I would say best make sure to get a good distance from the US right off the bat.
I think it’s similar with buyvm.net which is definitely Canadian, but I’m looking into it.
