I felt weird about some of their practices, e.g., making so-called “Whois Privacy,” which hides your personal data in RDAP requests, a paid extra feature when you register or move a domain to them (basically making you pay them to not dox you).

I never spend time too look deeper into their service at that time, as I was only looking for a domain registrar. Their apps are available on F-Droid which is cool.

I’d ask the same, to me they work so great, and they have a very green conscience

I would like to test before paying, but since I am in Brazil, I cannot test. I will not pay without knowing the product first…

Fastmail won out, Infomaniak was my second choice.

I host my own Nextcloud so I only needed email.

The price point likely reflects a trade-off in their encryption architecture or jurisdiction, as Infomaniak operates from Switzerland but must comply with local banking regulations that often require access to customer data. This creates a tension between their low cost and the strict privacy guarantees expected from Swiss-based providers, unlike fully self-hosted or decentralized alternatives.
