Custom Domains

I own 8 custom domains, I used all off them for separation of emails, this website and more. What is good about custom domains is, if you use TutaMail, you can do an infinite amount of addresses. Therefore we can use a new address for all things. The thing is with custom addresses that you can become much more anonymized with these techniques that I am going to cover on this page.

New Account, New Address

When we create one email address for each account, we not only enhance our privacy for obvious reasons, but we also significantly improve our security. In fact, privacy and security go hand in hand; when you have different email addresses for each account, a hacker would struggle to track what belongs to whom. Each address serves as a door: if you had 70 accounts but only 1 email address, there would be just 1 door. Therefore, by having 70 accounts and also utilizing 70 unique email addresses, you now possess 70 doors instead of just 1.

Moreover, it is crucial to remember that when a single account is compromised, the password can leak. Consequently, you may find yourself in a precarious situation unless you used different passwords for each account. As Michael Bazzell noted in his book, he sometimes figures out who individuals are by examining passwords in data breaches. Thus, it is imperative to never reuse passwords!

1984.hosting

This service is a web hosting and domain registry company located in Iceland, the difference between 1984 and other similar service is their commitment to privacy, free speech, and civil rights. It was founded in, a country renowned for its amazing data protection laws. I use 1984 to buy all my domains from.

Acquiring A Custom Domain

To acquire a domain, I suggest 1984 because they’re a very privacy respecting service that also have something called Domain Privacy Protection (explained further down the page). This makes the domain very private. If you look up nullvoided.com you will see where it is hosted but you get no personal details. How do you acquire a custom domain? Let’s do it together!

  1. On 1984, make an account and login.
  2. When you are logged in you will see the vertical menu on the left side of the screen.
  3. Click on “1984 Store”.
  4. Then click on “Domain registration”.
  5. You will be presented with a text field and a drop down.
  6. On the drop down pick your TLD (top level domain).
  7. In the field write a domain name and click the “Check availability”.
  8. If it is available check “Buy domain privacy (€8.99)”.
  9. Check “Agree to terms of service”.
  10. Click on “Register domain”.
  11. Then click on “Go To Cart”.
  12. Finish the purchase.

I recommend to prioritize custom email domain before prioritizing making websites or anything else. 

Domain Privacy Protection

This is a 1984 service that plays a crucial role in safeguarding users’ personal information. As individuals and organizations register domain names, their details are typically made available in the WHOIS database, a public record containing information about the domain registrant. This includes sensitive data such as name, address, email, and phone number. I always recommend to pay the little extra for the privacy protection as it is very much worth it.

Privacy & Security For All!
