How-to use Protonmail service with your shared-hosting/domain
While FlokiNET does not offer any assurances or guarantees, Protonmail has proven itself to be a reliable and safe email service, providing PGP encryption as standard method and other many features that are usually recommended to keep your emails private and safe.
This tutorial will show step by step how to use their email service together with your domain, which must be configured with our nameservers. Keep in mind that you can host your website/application with our VPS/Dedicated-Servers/Shared hosting and still use their email service.
According to current service features, currently this feature is only provided to clients that purchase one of the non-free packages. This tutorial is created assuming that you have purchased a package from Protonmail and have a domain/shared-hosting plan with FlokiNET.
