Email service providers like Everyone.net

In the past, there were a lot of email service providers like Everyone.net ( Bigmailbox, Chek, Outblaze, etc.). Is Everyone.net the only one that still exists?

I know Outblaze got purchased by IBM back in 2009

Mail.com once powered by Outblaze, then by AOL, last by GMX.

There was Gawab too, based in Egypt. Not sure if they still exist.

If you mean you want to purchase an own domain and then use a free provider to allow people to register mail accounts under your domain (like running your own free mail provider), can't you do that by using Mail.ru or Zoho for your own domain? Doesn't allow that to have people registering email accounts under your domain?

I'm not sure whether they still exist and I know it ain't the same as really using an own domain, but ZZN.com used to provide free mail accounts under any subdomain of them. For example you could register anything-you-possibly-want-as-subdomain.zzn.com and then you administer that subdomain, with people being able to create mail accounts under the chosen subdomain.
(that said, their service wasn't entirely reliable when I last used it many years ago, and the inbox capacity was on the small side... That was many years ago though)

I don't want to purchase a domain and use a free provider. I'm looking for some cool domains to register a free email address with other than ones that are under Everyone.net

Is there any particular reason why you don't want to use any free email service provider that could do the trick, and why you don't want to use Everyone.net neither?
