Problem
Many individuals and small businesses need a reliable email service but face high costs, complex multi‑user billing, and limited storage when using traditional providers. They also require secure, spam‑free transactional email without the overhead of marketing platforms.
Solution
Purelymail offers a low‑cost email hosting service built on AWS infrastructure that provides a single email address with 3 GB of storage for a flat annual fee. The platform supports custom domains, standard email protocols, and synchronization via WebDAV, CardDAV, and CalDAV, enabling seamless access to mail, contacts, and calendars across devices. Security features include two‑factor authentication and robust spam filtering, while all user data remains private and is never sold or used for advertising. Transactional email is allowed, but the service explicitly blocks unsolicited marketing and bulk mailing to maintain high deliverability. Pricing is simple and transparent, with a $10‑per‑year “simple” plan and an optional usage‑based advanced tier for higher resource consumption.
