It was increadibly hard for me when I decided I had to pull the plug on my home hosted email/calendar, etc.  It was either get screwed paying the ISP for a business connection at rediculous rates for the same level of service just to get a static IP, or use the "Google to the rescue" move my MX record to use their free custom domain name setup.  I could care less about all the other g-suite apps - I just wanted the custom domain name email.

That was back when they seemed to care - before they turned into the what they are today and are now doing the big rug pull out from under all the geeks like me that went to their early free service.  That shows you what free really gets you over time.

At this point, I'm looking at all options.  I don't even care if I have to pull every Google device out of my house because none work after moving away from them.  I still hold a slight bit of hope they will change their tune and keep the under 10 users "Family setups" free.  They mentioned they will now allow people to move to something they will provide for free, but that doesn't include the most important thing to most of us.  The custom domain for email.  

Web 3.0 can't start soon enough.
