Ask HN: Is G Suite a viable option for private emails? Brief comparison included
2 by 35post | 1 comments on Hacker News.
Background: Since GMail bans are based on ML and recovery rarely happens (looking at all those HN threads), is G Suite, now called G Workspace, actually a good option? It's paid, so there should be support (or not?). Re features/price it's on par/better than some others and the admin panel is ok (eg compared to MS Business Accounts). Anyone went that path and can tell their experiences with G Suite support? FWIW, I checked out the others and my brief thoughts: FastMail: Looks nice and I get more email storage than with G Suite, same no privacy, had often outages ProtonMail: Much less or more expensive storage but has privacy MS' smallest biz account: not the private one but the business one, biggest storage, account deletion is not that easy (90 days period) which is good, admin panel is crazy complex Hey: More expensive than prior and too experimental UI for my taste but maybe I'm wrong, pretty young The private Microsoft 365 is quite feature-rich and cheap and easy to maintain but this Godaddy lock-in is unpredictable. It can happen that Godaddy increase pricing in the long run. My motivation to set this up and run for the next decades.
