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.

    If you only ever use this mail domain to send messages to or receive messages from people who don’t know your name and address, why not. Any old infoleak would otherwise indelibly associate that domain with that personal info.
