I've lost patience with 123-Reg, need somewhere else to stash the family's domain names. I have 7 in total, and all I really need is email forwarding. Don't mind paying a nominal fee, if the service is worth it, but since my requirements are pretty minimal, if I can get away without paying (apart from domain name registration/renewal fees of course), then that would great. Any recomendations?
Best domain hosting (only need email forwarding)

Stablepoint and Allhost.co.uk are both pretty decent but it's worth checking with your domain registrar as some, like Porkbun, offer free email forwarding with domains.
This is why I'm leaving 123-Reg FWIW: https://forums.theregister.com/forum/all/2023/06/19/123_reg_customers_caught_out/

Hope you don't mind me jumping in here - how does this work?
I'm using Microsoft Business Basic at the moment and I want to switch to an email only host that I can configure Outlook to handle the email. I already have the domain bought and paid for, I just need a service to handle the email via Outlook (or another app as long as it has push support).
TIA

Cloudflare
I'm using Cloudflare to email forward to Gmail but I have found on several occasions my emails are delayed heavily due to Cloudflare being temporarily blocked by Google - something to be aware of

Is that via the £1.99 web hosting package?

Cheers, I'll get a look at that.

I've went with Stablepoint. First impressions are very positive and I've got it set up on my Android phone via Bluemail so no need for forwarders or anything like that.
Just use AWS, I'm paying £0 this year to host my website (admittedly it's static) and also use it for my icloud email domain. Once I move to YouFibre I'll be behind a CGNAT so I might have a go at setting up a VPS which will be cheaper than paying the ISP for a static IP. It's nice having these options with my personal AWS account.

Worth looking at Oracle's free instances (AMD or ARM).
porkbun.com | Free Email Forwarding

I highly recommend Porkbun. Great company and free email forwarding.
I'm in exactly the same position.
Could you please say what you ended up doing?
Thank you.
