VPS to Host Email
Hello,
I'd like to host my email server. I was using veesp, but they closed 2 of my servers because of their age, and didn't come close to the same price I was getting previously.
I'm looking < 500GB storage space, a good IP that isn't on a PTR block (That's what I'm dealing with now) or have any reports to spamhaus previously. This is a personal email, about 20 emails sent a week, maybe 100 received.
Hopefully semi annual or annual payment.
Comments for recommended provider and provciders welcome alike.

Why a vps?
P.S: username check out
can you lower your storage? for 100 emails a week you probably will never use over 20gb storage technically in the life of the email address, and your options for a VPS will go from few to tons.
If you’re ok with a full mail suite and lifetime pricing, https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/203507/cranemail-email-hosting-new-ios-push-and-rclone-support-lifetime-plan-from-69-42-last-chance/p1

I use OVH for email hosting. Some shitty guys like to DDOS my mailservers and OVH comes in handy in this regard. Their IP is not bad, but later I routed everything through MXRoute and it gets even better.
That being said, why do you need 500GB for personal email? lol
Reason for size, I use it as nextcloud storage too.
Plus, storage is less than 500gb.
I appreciate the responses.
Sounds great! I'd like to be out of north America, and hosted on my own server.
netcup RS or VPS with mailcow, they have US and EU locations (EU based company). they provide ample storage by default along with block storage available to purchase to have separate volumes for your mail / container data if you use mailcow. they also have ipv4 and ipv6, and support PTR. they dont block smtp ports. checks all the boxes for mail, at least for me.
Currently use GreenCloudVPS 2c/8g to host my Mail-in-a-Box and Nextcloud AIO instance, works wonders. My VPS only has 35gb(approx, forgot exact) of storage but I attached JuiceFS mounts with iDrive e2 and it works wonders (currently have 1tb storage with basically infinite scaling option). Very very cheap for the amount of storage I get. For emails I just route with Brevo SMTP relay for free. Highly recommended setup IMO. Just make sure to have decent networking if going the JuiceFS route and any reputable ish S3 provider.
I've been hosting my email server with Skhron for a few months by now and it's pretty good. @tentor has been really helpful in tickets when I was banging my head against a wall trying to figure out why my email server didn't work (it was DNS!). Highly reccommend, but to have port 25 unblocked, you need to do the following (taken from Skhron's ToS)
