protonmail operates on a fremium service, you don't have to pay. I highly recommend the paid options though... and if you happen to have a webdomain, they'll manage an email server for you (which is a pain in the ass... and totally worth it. They do a good job.)

I mentioned in my comment that the prices were based off the cheapest "premium" plan. If I were to include freemium, tutanota, mailbox.org and others would also be free.

Hm, really? I might have to look at that. I'd love my own email domain

check the business plans

not trying to shill for them, but, the 'support for custom domains'- if you have a domain already, you can use that instead of theirs. and because they manage it... it stay up to date etc. They're far from the only people that provide that service, mind you.

I would like to use my domain for that, but was always wondering if I could do that while using my domain and other non mail subdomains on another server

Yes an MX dns entry only applies to email, you can have other entries (A, AAAA) for a normal server.

So I would add a MX entry and set it to the ip of the Proton Mail Server?
