So I have researched about self hosting your own email server such as Mailcow but it seems pretty divided on whether or not you should do it due emails potentially not getting delivered due to spam filters and such. So I'm kinda not interested in self hosting so I'm wondering what is the next best option to get my own email ideally for free but maybe settle for really cheap?
Edit: I have my own domain already.
Edit2: Thank you all! I have my domain with Cloudflare so I have tried their email routing but would like to be able to send from it too. I'll check out some other suggestions.
Edit3: Wow this got a lot of replies. Again thanks all for the recommendations. I haven't had a chance to actually check any out yet (busy weekend) but I will get to it.
Edit4: So I've had a little time to look at some of the options and it looks like maybe Zoho, onepoundemail or PurelyMail. They are both fairly cheap and around the same price. Anyone know how they compare?
Edit5: I ended up paying for Zoho for $12/year. So far it's doing everything I wanted and more. Very happy with it! Thank you all!!!

What is email hosting?
What is Email Hosting
Email hosting is a service that provides email accounts for users to send and receive emails. The email hosting service provides the user with an email address, which they can use to create their own email account.
Email hosting services are available in two types: free and paid.
Free email hosting services offer basic features such as sending and receiving emails, while paid services offer additional features such as advanced spam filtering, advanced filtering options, and more storage space.
They also provide a web-based interface so that users can access their emails from any device they want to use.
The most popular free email hosting service is Gmail by Google. It has over 1 billion active users worldwide and is one of the most used webmail services in the world. Other popular free email hosting services include Yahoo Mail, Hotmail, and Outlook.com.
The most popular paid email hosting service is Microsoft’s Office 365, which has millions of users around the world. There are other paid email hosting services such as Gmail’s Pro Unlimited plan, but these are less common due to their high price tag relative to the lower number of emails they can host.
What is the difference between free email hosting and paid email hosting?
Free Email Hosting: (A) Only one email ID with a custom Domain. (B) Storage is limited
Paid Email Hosting: (A) Have Multiple email IDs with a custom domain. (B) Get Unlimited Storage per user
I'm a fan of Outlook and i don't think there's any email product better than that but since it's not cheap and I'm just starting up ,I wanna know any cheaper alternatives which are pretty good . I've tried hostinger but it's not worth it tbh no customer support ,just a chatbot who doesn't even understand the queries.
