I attended a recent talk by Mark Rasch, Legal, Regulatory and Privacy Specialist with Critical Defence, Washington DC, who claimed hosting data in the USA is actually safer than in Canada because of rules the NSA and others must follow to access private data in the USA, but once data is hosted anywhere else in the world it is fair game. Of course being a non-American probably gives you less protection in the USA than a native, but it is an interesting twist on who the powers that be can snoop on.

Most of the "business" packages do not have this restriction. Having said that, a VPS is a whole lot cheaper, I have a couple of http://buyvm.net/ VMs which have been excellent value. For those that worry about having their data reside in the US, I would recommend https://mykolab.com/ , which is a hosted kolab solution based out of Switzerland (Canada provides no protection beyond what you would get in the US anyway). Kolab and Citadel are my two favourite messaging/collaboration suites.

I can't see why you couldn't do the same on a residential package with dyndns setting for mx.. experhost has a linux vps offering, around $20 a month, and you can run a mail server there :-) along with your own named and whatever else you may want.
