Hostinger sells business email per mailbox, and its long-term pricing makes it the cheapest upfront option on this list. The Starter plan is $0.39 a month on a 48-month term, paid as $18.72 today, and renews at $1.59 a month; it includes 5 GB of storage, 5 forwarding rules and 5 aliases. Standard, at $0.99 a month on the same term, raises storage to 20 GB and adds unlimited AI help to search, reply, summarize and write, smart replies and open tracking. Premium at $1.99 a month adds 50 GB per mailbox, 30 aliases, link and file tracking and a free domain for a year. All plans carry a 30-day money-back guarantee. The prices on the page in November 2026 are Black Friday offers, so compare the renewal rates before committing four years ahead. Like other host email, it has no shared documents or meetings.
