Much more needs to be said about the extreme advantages of paying someone vs. using a free service.

I've said this for over two decades: If you have a business, or even just a lot of important stuff going on in email (which is like everybody); it strikes me as insanity to not pay for the peace of mind that comes with "a human you can call up and say 'hey, why can't I get into my email' or 'hey, fix this please"

Versus what SO MANY PEOPLE use, which is "It's possible that your email will be removed from you entirely and you will have recourse because no one has a contract with you to fix it."




> not pay for the peace of mind that comes with "a human you can call up and say 'hey, why can't I get into my email' or 'hey, fix this please"

That stance would make sense if that were an option with google hosted email.


I don't understand your comment? The stance makes sense now because it is an option with smaller hosting services. I use one myself.
