Best for mail hosting with unlimited domains and accounts
MXroute hosts mail with unlimited domains and accounts per plan, from $59 a year for 10 GB. Storage is shared across all accounts, each account is limited to 400 emails an hour, and support is by ticket.
Who MXroute is for

- Works for small agencies that resell mail
Who MXroute is not for
- Skip it if you want to try it free, as there's no free plan or trial
- Skip it if you're new to email, since the vendor expects you to know the basics
- Tight if you send in bulk, as each account is limited to 400 emails an hour
- Watch out: Small is 10 GB in total, shared across every account
- Watch out: monthly billing is only for the large tiers, from 300 GB at $20 a month

Keep MXroute, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace MXroute you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 121 of the 122 other email apps grade higher. It costs $59 a year.
What you could make
- Calendar: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
What this rests on. MXroute’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
