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

    Like, it’s my business email, it’s on my cards and my site and pretty much everything else related to the business. Just change all that!?

      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.

          I don’t computer enough to host my own site.

          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.

      For the future, it might be worth buying your own domain. Besides looking cool, switching providers is as simple as changing your MX records.
