What is the difference between Proton’s email domains?
Proton has four different email domains that you can use to create email addresses:
- @proton.me is the default domain for Proton Mail: You’ll be asked to create a @proton.me address ([email protected]) when you sign up.
- @protonmail.com is an alternative domain that you can choose when you sign up or use to create additional addresses ([email protected]).
- @pm.me is our short domain: You can activate your short email address ([email protected]) after you’ve signed up if you’re on a paid Proton plan.
- @protonmail.ch is our original Proton Mail domain: If you joined Proton before 2016, you have an additional free @protonmail.ch address ([email protected]).
If you have a paid Proton plan, you can create additional addresses (aliases) using any Proton domain above or your own custom domain (@yourdomain.com).
