Cheap Custom Domain Email Service w/ Good IP Address Reputation for Day-to-day Emails (alien.top)

I'm in the market for an email service for my custom domain name. I only need one account. Below are my requirements. Any good suggestions?

Cheap: Zoho, MXroute, and NameCheap seems to fit the bill.
Good IP Repuation: I'm honestly not sure how to check this out if I don't even know the shared IP addresses that the service uses. I imagine Google Workspace would be perfect but it's too expensive.

You're asking r/selfhosted where to not selfhost something.

If anything should get an exemption, it should be email hosting. Unless it's purely for educational purposes, self hosting email is just a waste of time and effort.

lol yeah I was debating posting to /selfhosted but I couldn't find a more applicable subreddit. In my defense, email is the only service that's not self-hosted on my domains.
