DON'T Buy Email Hosting From Your Web Registrar!

Being able to use your business name for your email address is professional and also puts you more in control of your communications. Most email hosting options offered by your web registrar are NOT private though, so what do you do? You can host any domain email with Protonmail instead!

In this video we will teach you how to move your custom email domain over to Protonmail, to keep all your communications private.

Let’s move towards email providers that don’t harvest the content of all our emails. This goes a long way to helping us reclaim our privacy in the digital age.

Good to see a COMPLETE setup guide including SPF/DMARC and DKIM. If everyone used this, and most importantly use SPF and DKIM (as specified in DMARC) in enforce modes, we'd have a lot less scam/impostor mails.

Setting DMARC to p=none is kinda pointless in my personal opinion. As far as I am aware it causes all mailers just completely ignore any signature errors. Run in p=none for testing, then in p=quarantine for a bit and eventually p=reject.

Btw, protonmail's SPF is oddly lax, it uses ~all (SOFTFAIL) instead of the more useful -all (FAIL). SOFTFAIL tends to get ignored by a lot of mail providers. Probably to avoid calls from angry customers wondering why email from their webservers crappy customer-harassment scripts gets bounced :)

What an excellent tutorial! The cells in my brain that were dedicated to all-things-tech in a previous incarnation as Network and Sys Admin had turned into comatose sofa spuds from non-use, and eventually ended up on life-support. Your beautifully clear, concise instructions got those cells off life-support and ready to run a at least off the couch for now. Thank you for this.

TNice tutorials is actually a very good and straight forward tutorial. No having ask questions or guess, no over-explaining elents, and brings

There are times when it is made "boot to the head" clear that Naomi is so much more than a pretty face!
This video is great timing. I've been running my own email since the early 1990s. With all the spam protection these days it is increasingly hard to be a tiny email site. This has had me thinking more and more about finding a different option. Time to investigate Protonmail!

[TheCocoaDaddy]

Great video! This reminded me I STILL want to experiment with sending PGP encrypted email with a Protonmail account and a non-Protonmail account. Great detailed discussion! Thanks for posting!

[raviravi-fnmi]

Your each and every video is full of full information.I wait for your one video after another.

Although it's a bit more work, I host my own email server literally in my closet. My friend does the same but on a Linode VM. We both used iRedMail to set it all up.

[LarryCarlin]

Naomi, thanks for doing the heads-up research. I refer you to others with the adviso that you discover what we need to know, and present solutions weighted evenly. I noticed you said you don't accept sponsors but you simply like the product. You hooked me right there.

[vulpo]

You explain all of these highly technical subjects so well! This is just what I was looking for.

[neohomme]

Please note that Proton also communicated, that they adhere to the swiss governments demand, that when a crime is suspected, they can demand data even from Proton. So, that said, no provider is secure.

[bobarjie]

Love this video, Naomi. I've been looking to do this for some time and your explanation is perfect. Thanks

[philippuszka]

Great video very informative.
Any chance of putting together a video on ditching Google photos and how to download them from your Google drive and store them somewhere more secure?
Thanks Naomi. 👍

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR EFFORT NAOMI... MARVELOUS TUTORIAL

Excellent content Naomi.
Can you please guide me if these different domain registrars safe ? what would be your pick for the most secure domain registrar ? I know lot of these offer additional privacy by keeping the 'whois' data private. However I think it will be good to explore more reliable ones similar principles of protonmail.

[hillbilly]

You have my attention. Good stuff, keep it coming...and, 13.7M sub's is more appropriate, don't you think?
