Hi all, I've been using Godaddy for years. I have my business website hosted there and I created an email address with that domain name on the end. Now I guess they are ending free email and moving to microsoft 365 with a 2 month trial for which I would need to pay after.

Are there other hosts that would allow me to keep the domain email address and have free or cheaper email? I have my domain email also forwarded to my personal gmail account, so if I can set it up in gmail somehow that would be fine. PS Please talk to me like I'm 5 because I'm a bit of a luddite!

Budget: Currently paying Godaddy about $20 year? So something around that, or a bit more?

My website is currently built by Clickbooq.

Hi. I am in over my head and asking for help. Around 20 years ago I had an email and domain name only package with Go Daddy. We have four email addresses for the family. It went from under 20 bucks a year to a couple hundred dollars a year. If it makes a difference, I don’t use the webpage, just the email. Go Daddy used to have their own email platform but now use Outlook online. On our phones we just use the email app.

I understand there are other companies out there that will host my email, but I’m not sure how I would switch to another company without losing all of my archives of saved emails. For each account.

I am in over my head. I don’t know what I’m doing anymore. Is there any other service I can switch to that might be less money than Go Daddy that would allow me to keep my emails?

I have searched Reddit, but can’t seem to get a firm understanding. on our phones we just use the email app. I will appreciate any and all advice about how I can get what I’m looking for. Thank you so much.
