I was very tempted to go for this one, but couldn't find info on whether this was a one-man operation or if there are any disaster recovery plans. Sounds cruel, but if that one single guy my email depends on gets hit by a bus...
It is. But as said, for personal email what's the huge risk? You find a new provider, transfer your DNS records, and upload your old emails.
Make some backups of your emails, you should be anyway.

Makes sense. I'm happy with my current provider but purelymail is a strong candidate for if I'm out of options.
