FranklyMail
Unlimited email hosting on your own domains, $9 a year
The story
Overview
FranklyMail is an email hosting service that lets you send and receive mail on your own domain for $9 per year. Unlike traditional email providers that charge per mailbox or per user, FranklyMail uses a flat-rate model with unlimited mailboxes and domains, charging only for storage above the included 10 GB pool at $0.40 per GB per year. The service is designed for individuals, families, and small teams who want to own their email infrastructure without the complexity of self-hosting or the cost of per-seat pricing. Setup takes about 10 minutes and involves adding DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) to your domain registrar. FranklyMail supports standard email protocols (IMAP and JMAP), works with any email client, and includes a built-in importer to migrate mail from Gmail, Fastmail, Purelymail, and other IMAP-compatible providers, preserving folder structure, read status, and original dates. The platform deliberately excludes bulk mail and newsletter sending to keep IP reputation clean for transactional email.
