  • Google

    I can't believe we have Google on here. If you want to use Google to manage your email, I guess you can still join the club. You just have to use your own domain.

Privacy-Focused Email Providers

These email providers are great if you prize your personal data and want everything to be encrypted.

Unfortunately that is just not how the world works. So you typically end up jumping through some more hoops with these folks.

  • ProtonMail

    Proton writes security software like VPNs and a secure Switzerland-based email service. Using your own domain starts at $50/year.
