I don't know if this is a serious comment or not, but previously a Family plan + single Lite account allowed own domain name for $15. I agree that that
is cheap and could have stood a price increase.

You can renew for 5 years and get a discount....and you will be locked into that plan.

Perhaps the prices should have been increased incrementally over the years, I don't know – maybe we would have been up to the current rates by now.
A Family plan can only be renewed for one year at a time, so no discount (not unreasonable, given the low cost) and no long-term lock-in.
As for the rest of the Fastmail 'added-value' features, I have ownCloud on my shared hosting account, so no need for [Web|Cal|Card]DAV, nor web space and I have 250 GB of file storage. The attraction of Fastmail, for me, was always the notion of 'email, done right' – a single core service, very well done.
