Moved from Proton and Tuta to mailbox.org with a custom domain; fine for years apart from clunky interfaces.
Show quote
“I switched from both proton and Tuta to just mailbox with a custom domain I own. I prefer the convenience of being able to use thunderbird or what ever mail”
Found Tuta support extremely bad: overcharged, a support post unapproved, and three days for an answer, so they deleted the account.
Show quote
“Tuta's customer support is extremely bad, my entire experience was stressful, and it felt like a very inhospitable service. They literally overcharged me, didn't approve my support post on the”

Picked Zoho over Fastmail for a first custom domain because it was cheaper and after two years has no reason to move.

“Two years later, so far, so good. I haven't found a reason to move”
Left Tuta for mailbox.org and likes it, with third-party app support and a custom domain.
Show quote
“I swapped to Mailbox dot org and really like it. I don't use the office suite or anything except mail, calendar, and I put RSS feeds on my dash, which is a nice feature.”
Tuta blocked two paid accounts and one free account, and their card could not be used on a new account without emailing support.
Show quote
“Tuta blocked two of my paid accounts, my payment card cannot be used on a new account unless I email them again again again and they blocked one free account. Reliable, not at all, encrypted, yes”

Uses mailbox.org with a custom domain; does not love the interface and has heard of sent mail landing in spam, but incoming mail is fine.

A couple of years on Tuta; works great apart from a weak spam filter.

“I have been using it for a couple years now and other than a weak spam filter it works great.”
Enjoys Tuta though the UI is disliked by some and third-party clients are unsupported.
Show quote
“I'm using Tuta and really enjoying it, but it seems like some people really do not like the UI, and it doesn't help that it can't be used with third party email clients like Thunderbird.”
Has been with Hosting.com for about five years on a reseller plan and is leaving after three price increases in a single year, the plan renaming and going from $39.60 to $48.60 a month. Says he was not told the amounts in advance and found out only when charged; he cancelled and is moving elsewhere.
Show quote
“They've increased my price 3 times this year! Starting on March 24, 2026 my price for their "Kickstart Reseller" had a name change to "Reseller 25" and a price increase to $39.60.”
Is moving a 100-site plan away from Nexcess after a year of decline: the price rose from $638 to $849 a month with no added benefits, PHP patching took over a day with little communication, and the included CDN and automatic updates did not work reliably. Says the speeds are still great but would not recommend it.
Show quote
“Nexcess was the last of all web hosts I am aware of to patch the most recent PHP vulnerabilities. Took over a day with little to no communication.”
Has used Fastmail with their own domains for about 15 months. Finds the support very good and human, and likes the configurability even though the many settings felt overwhelming at first, plus the detailed headers, boolean search and subdomain aliasing.
Show quote
“The settings can be a touch overwhelming at first because there are so much it can do, but pretty soon. I got used to it and LOVE the configurability.”
Moved a marketing site off a roughly $12k a year Webflow Enterprise plan to Astro on Cloudflare for about $5 a month.

Has used Fastmail for several months and likes the 1Password masked email integration. Says the apps just work, has no complaints and considers it great value for the money.
Show quote
“Been using Fastmail now for several months, the 1Password masked email integration is fantastic, the apps just work, no complaints, I think it’s a great value for the money”
Used Fastmail a couple of years before Proton and found it good, but now seems pricier.
Show quote
“Fastmail is good. Used it for a couple of years before Proton. I don't remember it being this pricey though. Didn't it used to be cheaper than Proton?”
Agency paid Webflow about $9k a year and replaced it with a self-hosted stack costing about $25 a month.

Has a dedicated server with Liquid Web bought in 2024 and was told it would rise about 51% on 17 days notice. The old price can only be kept by paying twelve months up front, which they find hard to afford as a self-employed customer.
Show quote
“They say I can keep my old price of $355 if I pay for 12 months up front. That's $4260 I have to come up with to avoid the 51% hike!!”
