Hi, Im thinking about moving from gmail elsewhere but Im wondering if I should use my own domain for it, I dont have the domain yet but how to deal with whois lookup privacy? (Im EU based) are there any other issues I may run into if I chose my own domain over opening a account on posteo.de or mailbox.org with their domain. I know owning my domain will give me freedom to move my email elsewhere if I would want but I dont know if its worth it.

    About the whois thing, German domains (.de) don’t show personal information. You still have to provide that info but it’s only visible to law enforcement and the like.

      DENIC doesn’t even report domain expiration in whois data, which is super annoying. I guess you pay per month technically, but was new to me for a project to monitor a whole bunch of domains for renewal.
