I'm trying to move my software to
Are there any providers that don't charge for custom domains? 🇪🇺 🇬🇧 🇨🇭 🇳🇴 🇮🇸

Web browser: Vivaldi 🇳🇴
Search engine: Ecosia 🇪🇸
Office: LibreOffice 🇩🇪
Calendar: Google Calendar
e-mail: hotmail (just signed up to 'mailo' 🇫🇷 )
AI: Le Chat 🇫🇷
Message: WhatsApp
Video conference: Skype (trying alfaview 🇩🇪 )
OS: Windows

It's not perfect but it's moving the right direction.

@robriley@toot.wales
https://mailbox.org isn't for free, but it allows a contingent of custom domains in its packages and doesn't charge extra per domain. Same for https://tuta.com

I would recommend to use a provider or a packet that isn't for free anyway, since servers and security cost money and otherwise oneself tents to be the product.
mailbox.orgSecure e-mail for private and business customers | mailbox.orgmailbox.org ► secure and ad-free e-mail ✓ online office & cloud storage ✓ 100% green energy ✓ server location in Germany ✓ from 1,- Euro per month ✓ free trial!

@robriley What exactly do you mean? Have you already got your own domain and just want to use it with the new provider? Or do you expect a custom domain from the new provider without extra cost??

@teezeh I already have a domain and I access the mail via Gmail, which Gmail does not charge. When I checked on european-alternatives their free plan doesn't seem to include the ability to use my domain email via their service (if that makes sense)

@robriley Sure, makes sense. I use Mailbox.org (Berlin-based) and pay for it. Their fee is small and worthwile. No extra charge for your using an own domain. Freemail is never free. You just pay differently.

@teezeh @robriley The only difference is the medium in which the contract is signed.

No blood is involved unlike pacts with Satan (allegedly).
