Hey there,

i have a domain (.de-domain, registered with netcup) that i would like to use for my email-provider, but i am hesitant.

Why i am hesitant: I don’t want that people might be able to find out my name/adress that is registered with my domain. If some service does not need my personal data, i simply don’t want them to be able to access them. It’s as simple as that.

I read that a whois-check could reveal my data, but the situation seems more complicated. At least, i couldn’t reveal my personal data with a whois-check.

Why i would like to use my own domain: I want to be more independent from my mail-provider.

I am not that tech-savvy, so sorry if this is a silly question. I tried searching, but didn’t found anything, probably because keywords like domain bring up lots of different topics.

    use my own domain with an mail provider instead of self-hosting an email server

    How would that work technically? A redirect for all incoming mail?

    I am using a service that does just that.
