Anyone know a decent alternative at a reasonable price though? What if I have an @gmail today, and I want to move my storage elsewhere and have that just forward?

My recommendation for everyone is to use Fastmail and a custom domain.

Fastmail is extremely reliable, and since they charge money they also offer customer support. A few years ago I lost a lot of emails due to a client bug, and Fastmail support was very helpful recovering them from backup.

Use a custom domain so you can change providers in the future so you're not locked into your provider and can change if you aren't happy with them anymore.
