I’ve cancelled my subscription yesterday, conveniently it was about to renew at the end of the week, so I have a few days to migrate from Proton, here’s what I’m thinking of, but I’d love to hear what other people are switching to

    Your business email is a @proton.me address?

    You mentioned a website, wouldn’t you rather have an address @ your website domain?

      Site is hosted by the accounting software I use, template based and I do no e-commerce.

      Proton Mail is free and reasonably secure/not fucking Google, and I don’t computer enough to host my own site.

      I cut lawns and maintain gardens, I just need to be reachable.

        Honestly, keep it regardless. None of your emails are encrypted anyway once they’re sent. It has to be another proton user or pgp or similar. 🤷

        Unless you’re doing some illegal gardening or mowing someone down (literally & pun intended), there’s no reason to switch.

        You mean savvy or cost?

        If it’s cost, you can have a simple site and email with your own domain for something like $30 a year.

        I cut lawns and maintain gardens,

        Do you own your rake and gloves or rent/borrow them?

        It’s the same thing having a domain. Really basic but essential tool that it makes sense to own it and have no surprises or changes at anybody else’s whim.
