Private Email Hosting — Liberation Email

Private email hosting means your mail runs on a paid service tied to your own domain rather than a free consumer platform. In practice that means three things: your messages are not scanned to target advertising, your address is not tied to a company that can close it by automated decision, and there is a support team accountable for the service you are paying for.

The business model. Free consumer email is funded by the data and attention of the people using it; a paid mailbox is funded by the subscription. That changes what happens to your content, what happens when something goes wrong, and whether anyone picks up when you call. The FTC’s privacy and data security guidance is a good primer on what any provider handling your data should be doing.

Any of them. Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, the iOS and Android mail apps, or our webmail — the service uses IMAP, SMTP, CalDAV and CardDAV rather than a proprietary protocol, so nothing is locked to one client.

In facilities we own and operate in the United States. We are not reselling capacity on a hyperscaler, so we can say which hardware your mailbox sits on and who has access to it — and no foreign jurisdiction has a claim on it.

You export it and take it with you. Standard formats, no exit fee, no hostage-taking. We would rather you leave cleanly than stay because leaving is painful.

Yes. Business plans cover multiple mailboxes on one domain with shared calendars and contacts. If your team also needs files, chat, video and project management in the same place, Hub For Teams bundles all of it.
