I am very pleased with our Linux servers on Amazon/AWS. You could setup you=
r own personal Linux email and/or web server on an AWS t2.micro server for =
$113/year.  They offer generous server discounts if you commit to 1 year or=
 3 years in advance.

If you are new to AWS, their pricing options are going to be overwhelming! =
Here is an example of total 3-year cost for a personal server. Keep in mind=
 that you pay for the actual storage you allocate and the actual bandwidth =
you use.  If you were to only allocate 15GB of server disk storage and you =
only used 5GB bandwidth per month, your actual cost would be much lower! Th=
eir usage-based model really shines if you really don=E2=80=99t need much s=
torage or bandwidth.

Server (EC2 t2.micro w/ 1GB ram):  $162 ($109 initial + $1.46/mo)
Storage (EBS SSD 30GB): $108 ($0.10/GB/MO)
Outgoing Bandwidth (540GB): $49 ($0.09/GB)
Incoming Bandwidth: FREE
Static IP (Elastic IP): FREE
TOTAL 3-YEAR COST:  $319  ($109 initial + $5.83/month)

PS - They have a FREE TIER which provides new customers with the exact same=
 server/storage/bandwidth configuration for FREE for a full year.
