Started a mail service for BE freelancers and KMO’s,interested for your opinion
Been tinkering with an idea for a while and finally made something of it: business email for Belgian freelancers and small businesses, servers in Germany (not Google, not Microsoft), and if something goes wrong you just call me, not some chatbot somewhere.
Background: IT consulting is my day job, this is a side project in my free hours. No grand ambitions, just something I’d find useful myself. I still see so many people sending invoices from @gmail or @hotmail, and if you actually want something professional you’re basically stuck with Google or Microsoft, with everything that comes with that (American, data elsewhere, support you don’t know).
Question for the freelancers here: are you currently using something business-grade for email, or is it still often a free address? And if you’d ever switch to something smaller/local, what would hold you back or push you over the edge?
Open to all feedback, critical included.
