Use of free e-mail providers

Using free email providers is not without its problems, and for those who want more control over their privacy, a self-hosted email address is an advantage. In this blog post, we will discuss the advantages of having your own hosted email domain and the disadvantages of using free email providers.

Free email providers vs. your own hosted email

Using free email providers such as Gmail, Yahoo or Outlook.com seems like a logical and easy choice for many people. However, there are some significant drawbacks to using these services, especially if you value privacy and control over your own data. With free email providers, you often have to agree to extensive terms and conditions in which your personal data such as emails, contact details and usage patterns are collected for commercial purposes. In addition, these services are often less flexible and the options for optimizing your emails are limited. With a free service, you are the product. For a low annual price, a domain name and email hosting package gives you all the benefits listed below.

Professional appearance An e-mail address with its own domain name not only looks more professional, but also ensures that your e-mail does not accidentally end up in the spam folder. This is especially important for entrepreneurs and self-employed people who want to make a professional impression and be sure that their messages are received. If you're trying to send business emails to potential customers or suppliers, you often won't even get through or get a reply back if you try to communicate with a free email address.

Disadvantages of free email providers

Although free email providers may seem attractive at first glance, there are some disadvantages that are often overlooked: Limited privacy: as mentioned above, many free email providers use your data for advertising purposes.

Your personal information and even the content of your emails can be analyzed to deliver targeted advertising. Limited support: Free providers often only offer basic support and it can be difficult to get help quickly if you have a problem. You usually have to rely on online forums or general FAQs, which can be frustrating if you have an urgent problem. You also have no guarantee that your data will actually be preserved.

It could be that the provider no longer supports the service or discontinues it, so you lose your emails. Not having your own domain name: A free e-mail address such as @gmail.com or @hotmail.com looks less professional than your own domain name. This can be a disadvantage, especially for entrepreneurs or freelancers who want to present themselves professionally to customers and business partners.
