I use Porkbun with Gmail and ForwardEmail.net. They do a great job.
As a single user or small household setup - I'm using Cloudflare email routing, with catchall, forwarded into my Gmail account for receive. For SMTP, I'm using a combination of mailjet.com and brevo.com, which both have fairly robust free tiers for personal/small business use and allow sending from anything@domain.com.
I've been using Tutanota. They are kind of similar in principles to Protonmail, but until recently were dirt cheap at €12/yr (now €36/yr). The only "drawback" is that you can only access your mail through their app, this is a feature, not a bug, according to Tutao.
uberspace might be what you are looking for. you get a fully maintained mail setup, 10GB of storage, a dozen preconfigured services, a nice wiki and a very cool team of nerds. starts at 5€/month and you can buy your own domain elsewhere (i use inwx).
What about Microsoft 365? The tenant itself is free and per account and month you pay about 5-10$ (depending on sibscription level).
With this you have the full MS Exchange experience, you get 1TB of OneDrive space and all the shebang.
If you care at all about privacy I wouldn't reccomned M365. Because: Schrems II and MS use your information for their own purpose, and in effect is not compliant with fx GDPR.
I couldn't get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the "no catch all" feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
