I also used to run my own e-mail server with them, but fighting the spam with Postfix + Dovecot + other software's configuration tweaks started to get taxxing after ten years. So I moved my e-mail to Fastmail and I've enjoyed it ever since. So all in all i would recommend doing DigitalOcean for a shell/files/web service, and Fastmail for e-mail.
