Hello all,

I'm looking to switch over to move privacy focused setup, so far i have a VPN, and will be making other changes. Is there any email providers that you know respect privacy, or how one would do this?

Use a web hosting and domain provider (eg mythic beasts), and get a email@yourdomain.tld email address. Or self host the server, if you have the ability, then you just need to buy the domain.

I have a domain name from namecheap im not using. self hosting is not possible. i could web host but wouldn't that get pricey?

If you own your own domain the you can use a paid tier of a service like Proton or Tuta where the emal is you@yourdomain.tld and the backend is actually them, so you don't need to selfhost.

Mythic beasts 5GB plan is only about £4 a month.

I might go for the 2GB one as its more affordable.

Oh, I didn't see that one. Yes, indeed, if that works better, go for it!
