10 comments on “How to Create Your Own Email Domain for Free

    1. Hi Rago,

      Please note that free email domains are offered by some hosting providers as part of their premium hosting plans. So when you buy hosting for your website, it’s a smart idea to choose a host that will give you free email along with your plan.

      We have already mentioned it within the article as well.

      Thanks!

    1. Hi Alfred,

      If you follow the article, you should be able to create and set up your custom email domain.

      Thanks!

  1. Why dont use email forwarding / routing to gmail, much easier and free, and use your gmail as your inbox to send and receive.

    1. Hi There,

      After setting up an email on your own domain, your privacy can be significantly improved compared to using generic email services. However, this also largely depends on the domain provider and the steps you take to ensure your privacy.

      For instance, many domain providers offer features like WHOIS privacy protection, which protects your personal information from being publicly accessible in the domain’s registration record. Additionally, configuring your email settings to use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) can further protect your information during email exchanges.

      Overall, while having a custom email domain can enhance privacy, the level of protection largely depends on your actions, the privacy policies and security measures of the domain and email hosting providers.

      I hope this helps. Thanks!
