Beginning of September I received a notice from Google, saying that the free service of managing my custom domain is halted and that I would have to buy a plan, in order to continue to use their service for my custom domain.

It has been several years I was from time to time looking to Google alternative. But the amount of work and hassle to find an hosting service or self hosting this service was always a blocker.

Laziness at finest.

So when they started to blackmail me that I must use my credit card in order to use their previously free service. I decided to kick my ass.

I was already a ProtonMail user for another experiment with this service. After half an hour setting up everything in godaddy following proton mail how-to I finally migrated my own domain to ProtonMail, happily paying for their services.

The only thing is that as far as I didn’t pay a penny to google, I’m unable to connect to my account and backup 10years of mail. Thank you google.

Funny thing is that I can still connect to my account console mgt and succeeded to save all my keystore from chrome use. I’m still able to use chrome with the same account, except my email is not anymore managed by google but proton.
