How we classify services

Operational dependency warning

Relies heavily on non-European providers

Current public evidence shows 4 non-European infrastructure or email dependencies across 3 providers: Cloudflare, Google, Mailgun. The reviewed operational path is therefore not entirely European.

Review dependencies ↓

Raidboxes Emails is the email provider service of Raidboxes, the German WordPress hosting company. It offers mailboxes on the same German infrastructure the company uses for the websites it hosts, which keeps site and mail with a single supplier.

Like the rest of the company, the service runs on renewable energy and a tree is planted for every hosted website, so it is a European alternative to bundling mail with an American office suite. It suits small businesses and agencies that already host with Raidboxes.

Pricing

Prices start at 1.50 euro per month for one mailbox with 1 GB of email storage.

Data and operations

Infrastructure and email path

Verified operational dependencies, shown separately from ownership and from the service's core data hosting.

Public website

Cloudflare

Non-European provider
Observed
A 172.67.135.214, 104.21.26.96 · AS13335

Why this matters

Public DNS routes website visits through Cloudflare. Visitor IP addresses and request metadata can reach this non-European provider; this does not identify the core service's data location.

Incoming business email

Google Workspace

Non-European provider
Observed
MX 1 aspmx.l.google.com · 5 alt2.aspmx.l.google.com · 5 alt3.aspmx.l.google.com · 10 alt4.aspmx.l.google.com · 10 alt5.aspmx.l.google.com

Why this matters

Published MX records route incoming business email through Google Workspace. Correspondent details and message content can therefore enter this non-European provider's systems; MX does not reveal the configured storage region.

Authorised outbound email

Google Workspace

Non-European provider
Observed
SPF _spf.google.com

Why this matters

This domain authorises Google Workspace to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.

Authorised outbound email

Mailgun

Non-European provider
Observed
SPF mailgun.org

Why this matters

This domain authorises Mailgun to send email. If active, recipient details and message content can be processed by this non-European provider. SPF does not reveal its configured storage region.

Public DNS records identify visible providers and routes, not every backend location or private data-region setting.
