1and1 here. 89p a month for 2Gb storage and 5 e-mail addresses.

I used to co locate a box in Tele house with a few mates who all had various stuff running on it but in the end we just decided that it was far too much hassle for the benefit.

4.99 for 1500Mb? That must be 4.99 per year then.

I'm on 10Gb for £1 a month

There was a similar thread on this topic a few months ago with all the info you need.

Do a quick searchy using the term cobweb (one of the providers I recommended) and you should find it.

Email hosting - which host?

Need to get a decent email host - current ISP doesn't quite cut it now I'm using my account for business.

Have been looking at Exchange Hosted mailboxes - I only need 1 and I want at least 2GB space. Also want it to be able to synch with my mobile phone (using Nokia N95 on 3 currently but am considering a PDA/Blackberry style offering now if there is any benefit?). I would like it to synch contacts, email, calendar items wirelessly if poss rather than needing to connect to PC to do it. Would like Push email, but intermittent pulls would probably do.

The 3 N95 can use Mobile Mail for Push email but it eats battery life (and isn't really supported on the N95 yet so it crashes ocassionally too). And it doesn't do the rest.

What email hosts are you guys using and why? I've read the Mobile device thread and everyone seems to like HTC phones, so my real question is who to use to host?

Thanks and sorry for the long post.
