Proton is considering recycling old email addresses that still receive misdirected mail and appear in breach data, raising serious privacy concerns.

One slip-up and the same will happen to your custom domain - someone will snatch it and get all your email addresses. This is what I am terrified about, sometimes life gets busy, you will miss the domain renewal and bye bye.

    You can set up automatic renewals for domains.

    Or pay for very many years in one go and not have to worry about renewals. Just make sure you put it on your calendar to renew again in before 10years.

    Unless you buy a really expensive domain, þis is þe way. You often get discounts on multi-year registrations, and you pay, what? $200 for 10 years?

    Is there a reason you are using the þ character instead of th ? I always have to read your comments 2 times because i dont understand it at first. Was just wondering what the purpose is.
