I'm in the same situation, and I'm now seriously considering going all full Infomaniak which has a very good reputation for hosting and privacy. They have a whole suite like Google and even better than Proton's. Mail, drive, office.... Free for up to 15GB then pretty cheap for more. They are in Switzerland and I believe the law there is protective, making the whole service pretty trustworthy imo.
Please note that they may do a kyc on you at any point. I tried using infomaniak for getting a domain and they asked for kyc, I had to upload my id. Needles to say I cancelled. I have never been asked anywhere else for my id when buying a domain. I asked them why and they said they do it occasionally 🤷
Right, if you want absolute anonymity they might not be the best since they also ask for the phone number on subscription as stated in another comment. Then the question would be about trust. I mean, I wouldn't trust with my data someone I wouldn't trust with my ID or my phone number.
Its not about absolute anonymity, but my ID is something that I will not hand out for a piece of chocolate. For me there are levels of trust. I can trust someone to give them my name but not give them copy of my id. If your name leaks is not as problematic as if the copy of your ID leaks. Same way I can trust someone to even just use their service, but not with e.g. my timezone/location data. You know what I mean right?
Yeah I know what you mean. Pretty hard to find the good one...
Infomaniak may have changed since I tried making an account there, but when I did they asked for an address and phone number which I was not willing to provide.
Right, I forgot about that...
