OVH. They offer everything from web hosting, email, VPS, to dedicated severs.

I use them over here in Canada for hosting my families email and a few other things on a dedicated sever and a couple additional IP addresses. For email server I use mailcow.

Yeah 1 zone. Ukraine. With the 2013 borders.

Personally I don't pay attention to the labels on the shelf. I look up the product origin myself and keep a list of all the non US items. I do try to buy Canadian first but I'll take European, Australian, Japanese, or other origin products. No Loblaws. Ever. I refuse to buy products from some countries due to current matters occuring elsewhere on the planet ...

Places that do this kind of marketing and make it clear they don't use US items to provide services to you are normally impossible to get an appointment because they're so damn busy. It's awesome how quickly we Canadians have come together and are fighting back anyway we can.

Where I live in Canada traffic moves for anything EMS related with lights(other than a tow truck unless of course they have an EMS escort). We pull up on to sidewalks, curbs, and anything really to clear a path. Heck I've seen people put their vehicle into a snow bank or a ditch to get out of the way. I guess we're of the mindset that others will do the same for us should we be the ones awaiting EMS to arrive or deliver us to an ER.

I jumped from Proton and SimpleLogin to selfhosted mailcow and addy.io. I could skip the addy.io part but I have some family members using it and the interface is much easier for them to figure out then the mailcow interface. Plus addy.io has great mobile apps. I use MXroute as my outbound relay since I actually want my emails to get delivered to the inbox and not spam folders.

The only real issue with selfhosted email is making sure you've got all your DNS records setup correctly and then making sure you have something like crowdsec watching the logs to keep the script kiddies out.

I dumped Proton and moved to selfhosted email using mailcow. Moved my calendars and contacts over to Nextcloud since I already had it run for files.

Some will say self hosting email is not worth the trouble. I disagree. Once you have the DNS records all setup correctly its just a matter of keeping the software up to date. With mailcow that's usually a monthly update using the included update script. Also setup something like crowdsec to watch your logs and block the script kiddies. Also don't even try sending email from your server itself, save yourself the headache and use a relay service. I use MXroute.
