Please suggest a good and relatively affordable private email provider. I am considering tuta, mailbox right now. I know proton has gone rogue.

I cannot self host one and the email provider must be somewhat reputable as I will be using this for my work portfolio. Anything with €1-€3 per month is encouraged.

I’ve been using Tuta for several years now, I didn’t know I could use my own domain!

Paid tiers only i think, but yes.

I am a paid tier… and I have my own business… this is really something I need to do.

Do it. It’s very straightforward.

Buy a domain.
Edit the DNS records to make your provider work with your domain.
In Tuta (or even an alias service like Addy), create new emails using your custom domain.
Done.

Whenever you need to switch providers such as if Tuta decides to support fascism like Proton’s CEO, you can easily switch to a new provider. Then add your domain to the provider, update your DNS records to point to your new provider, click Save. Done. And you won’t have to change your email addresses ever again.
