ALL free email packages ending?

[SonicWebStudios]

So, i got an email saying that my free emails are being cancelled. Is this meaning that every single way to get free email accounts are being discontinued, or just some of the ways to get them. Like the free ones with hosting, free with domain, and so forth? what about the free credits for being a reseller? are these all being done away with also?

This may be the end of my 15 year relationship with godaddy. 5 bucks a month for each email.... 18 accounts that i have, meaning i would be paying 90 bucks a month for email. I'm not sure i can keep up with godaddy's inflation of operating a small business.

This is something that has been discussed for a few weeks / months now - the short answer is yes.

Here are some alternatives 

1) If you have a cPanel account you can host the email there.

2) ZohoMail has a free package for up to 5 mailboxes  - webmail only or $1/mailbox/month for pop/imap

3) OpenSRS also has mail accounts at $0.50/mailbox per month

$5/month is on par with Office 365 / Google Suite - it's actually a little bit lower.
