    The old rule: If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    That's cheap enough that you're just looking to add frustration to your life for minimal gain if you go in search of greener grass. I'm not saying you can't get more for less, but if what you have is doing the job there's only headaches on the other side.

    Hey, I am a reseller of @jar and I also do a lot with self-hosted email - namely Mail-in-a-Box.

    Sure, I could save you a few bucks, but like @Jar says, it is not worth the potential frustration. Quite honestly, the ONLY reason that you should consider a change is if you are having deliverability issues.

    As far as self-hosting goes you then have all the issues surrounding deliverability to deal with. And cost wise, it is going to cost you at least twice what you are paying now.

    So yeah ... stay put - unless they are not delivering your emails to your correspondents.
