Email Hosting on Your Own Domain from €1.99/month

Email Hosting on Your Own Domain from €1.99/month

Most email providers sell you a single mailbox. Want info@, support@, and max@ on your domain? Pay three times. Or settle for a provider that doesn’t support custom domains at all.

ITSH does it differently: unlimited mailboxes and aliases on your own domain — for €1.99/month.

What’s Included

  • Unlimited mailboxes and aliases on your domain
  • 10 GB pooled storage — shared across all mailboxes
  • 1,000 outbound messages/month included
  • DKIM, SPF, and DMARC auto-configured
  • IMAP, SMTP, and Webmail — any standard client works
  • German servers in Hetzner data centers — GDPR compliant
  • Pay-as-you-go overages: €0.10/GB/month additional storage, €1.50 per 1,000 additional messages

No per-mailbox upselling. No alias limits. No extra charge for your own domain.

Why Unlimited Mailboxes Matter

A professional email address is more than name@company.com. In practice, you quickly need several addresses:

  • info@ and contact@ for general inquiries
  • billing@ for invoices
  • support@ for customer service
  • max@, anna@ for individual team members
  • noreply@ for automated emails

With most providers, each of these addresses costs extra. With ITSH, create as many as you need — no additional charge.

Comparison: Email Hosting Providers

How does this stack up against alternatives? As of April 2026 (prices based on publicly available information, subject to change):

Provider Price/month Mailboxes Storage Custom Domain
Posteo €1.00 1 4 GB No
mailbox.org Standard €2.50 1 10 GB Yes
Tuta Revolutionary €3.00 1 20 GB Yes
Migadu Micro ~€1.46 Unlimited 5 GB Yes
ITSH €1.99 Unlimited 10 GB Yes

Posteo is cheaper — but no custom domains and only one mailbox. mailbox.org and Tuta offer a single mailbox per plan; additional ones cost extra. Migadu comes closest on unlimited mailboxes, but with half the storage.

ITSH offers the combination of unlimited mailboxes, 10 GB storage, and custom domain support at the lowest price point.

DNS Authentication Without the Configuration Work

Emails from custom domains land in spam fast — if the DNS records aren’t right. SPF defines which servers may send for your domain. DKIM cryptographically signs every message. DMARC sets the policy for when a check fails.

ITSH configures all three automatically when you add a domain. No manual copying of TXT records, no debugging deliverability issues.

If your domains are managed at ITSH, the DNS records are set directly. With external DNS, you get the required entries displayed for easy setup.

Technical Details

Protocols:

  • IMAP (993/TLS) for mailbox access
  • SMTP (465/TLS) for sending messages
  • Webmail via browser — no client required

Infrastructure:

  • Servers in Hetzner data centers (Germany)
  • GDPR compliant — no data processing outside the EU
  • Encrypted transport via TLS

Storage:

  • 10 GB shared across all mailboxes in a package
  • Need more? €0.10/GB/month extra — no package upgrades required
  • Same logic for sending: 1,000 messages included, beyond that €1.50/1,000 messages

The PAYG model means you pay for what you actually use. No overpriced tier because you need 11 GB instead of 10.

Who Is This For?

Freelancers and solo professionals who need a professional address on their own domain — without an enterprise budget.

Small teams and organizations that need multiple mailboxes but don’t want to pay per mailbox.

Side projects and startups that want to use a custom domain from day one without worrying about DNS authentication.

Anyone switching from a provider that charges per mailbox and has outgrown that model.

What ITSH Is Not

Not an end-to-end encrypted provider like Tuta or Proton Mail. Transport is TLS-encrypted, storage sits on the servers. If you need client-side encryption, those providers are the better choice.

10 GB covers most email use cases. Need more? Add storage at €0.10/GB/month — no plan change required. Large attachments are better served by cloud storage or an S3 bucket anyway.
