@pixouls Honestly, if you care about privacy and not being dependent on these companies, you are going to have to spend some money to have your own services. Their "Free" services are why we are in this mess. I would recommend using a hosting service(like inmotionhosting.com) at first since they do a lot of the leg work for you. They have plans starting at $6/month with 10 email addresses and 50GB storage. You could split the cost between a few folks even.
