I use Vultr.com with custom iso support for NetBSD, with the $5/month
plan. Rock solid and have ipv4 and ipv6 working great (including
reverse DNS).
For mail, I self-host though there are many mail vendors that may fit
the bill. If you're looking for everything bundled you may be
searching for a needle in a haystack of questionable stability.
Check out https://www.privacytools.io/ for privacy related vendors
https://www.privacytools.io/providers/email/ for email providers
specifically.
Vultr is a good deal and their support is great, should you need it. I
only had to use it once to reset my 2FA after I messed up.
You'll probably not need vendor provided NetBSD support, honestly.
Good luck!

Hello, could anyone recommend web hosting providers for the following
cases:
1. Register domain while it is available and set up basic web + email.
This only needs to be an empty landing page and ability to
send/receive emails at the new domain. There are thousands of
providers out there and I could pick one at random, but would like to
find a BSD friendly provider, so that I don't have to migrate if I
need to upgrade to VPS or Co-location.
2. At some point in the future I would like to run NetBSD or FreeBSD
VPS, so would be good to have recommendations for this case.
Also, I live in the UK, but not sure of hosting in Europe vs US. Are
there any recommendations against holding your data in US data
centres, i.e. DMCA issues, NSA spying, etc?
