Looking to get off the Google train (alien.top)

I had a free google workspace for over a decade with a domain I own before it became a paid service, I’m looking at putting it all in my hands ideally using services that cost less than the $15/Month in paying for a handful of accounts.

I’m looking at running a Nextcloud to replace most of the Google services but I still haven’t found an email server replacement. Any ideas/suggestions/links to guides?

Edit: I’m not necessarily looking to host my own email, as I understand it to be a pain, but looking to migrate my current one to somewhere else.

I recently dumped google, and I'm using Nextcloud for almost everything. It's great.

Zoho for email. I'm paying $12/year per address.
I know you can get it for free but I'd rather pay for my services to work than pay nothing and wonder why they go out of business or have intrusive privacy policies (lest we end up with another google).
