Email is practically a necessity for using any online service, however we do not recommend it for person-to-person conversations. Rather than using email to contact other people, consider using an instant messaging medium that supports forward secrecy.
Find a secure email service provider that will keep your privacy in mind. Don’t settle for ad-supported platforms. Never trust any company with your privacy, always encrypt. [Recommended Instant Messengers](real-time-communication.md){ .md-button }
For everything else, we recommend a variety of email providers based on sustainable business models and built-in security and privacy features.

Our email aliasing recommendations are providers that allow you to create aliases on domains they control, as well as your own custom domain(s) for a modest yearly fee. They can also be self-hosted on your custom domain if you want maximum control. However, using a custom domain can have privacy-related drawbacks: If you are the only user on your custom domain your actions can be easily tracked across websites simply by looking at the domain name in the email, ignoring everything before the at (@) sign.

Using an aliasing service requires trusting both your email provider and your aliasing provider with your unencrypted messages. Some providers mitigate this slightly with automatic PGP encryption, which reduces the number of parties you need to trust from 2 to 1 by encrypting incoming emails before they are delivered to your final mailbox provider.

AnonAddy differentiates between "shared aliases" and "standard aliases": The number of shared aliases (e.g., @anonaddy.me which is shared by other users) that you can create is limited to 20 on AnonAddy's free plan and 50 on their $12/month plan. You can create unlimited standard aliases (which end in a domain like @[username].anonaddy.com or a custom domain on paid plans), however, as previously mentioned, this can be detrimental to privacy because people can trivially tie your standard aliases together based on the domain name alone. Unlimited shared alias are available for $36/year.
