Namecheap Private Email review

Namecheap Private Email is a simple way to put a professional address on a domain you already own, especially if it is registered at Namecheap. The Launch plan costs $14.88 a year after a 30-day free trial and includes 1 mailbox with 5 GB of storage, 10 aliases, webmail, a calendar, an AI email assistant, anti-spam protection and 2FA. Expand covers 3 mailboxes with 10 GB each for $41.88 a year, and Scale covers 5 mailboxes with 15 GB each and unlimited aliases for $71.88 a year. Standard protocols are supported, including IMAP, SMTP, POP3, CalDAV and CardDAV, so staff can keep using Outlook or Apple Mail. The limits are typical of registrar email: small mailboxes, no shared documents or video calls, and trials that convert to a yearly plan whose billing cycle cannot be changed later. For a one or two person business it covers the basics at a low yearly cost.
