#### **What is a shared domain alias?** | ||
|
||
A shared domain alias is any alias that has a domain name that is also shared with other users. For example anyone can generate an alias with the @anonaddy.me domain. Aliases with shared domain names must be pre-generated and cannot be created on-the-fly like standard aliases. | ||
|
||
#### **What is a standard alias?** | ||
|
||
A standard alias is any alias that can be created on-the-fly. Automatic on-the-fly alias creation is only available for domains that are unique to you. For example, your unique username subdomain, any additional usernames or any custom domains. So if you signed up with the username "johndoe", any alias you create using @johndoe.anonaddy.com would be a standard alias (even if you've generated a UUID/Random Word one). | ||
|
||
#### **Can I use my own domain?** | ||
|
||
Yes you can use your own domain name so you can also have *@example.com as your aliases. To do so you simply need to add a TXT record to verify your ownership of the domain. Then you will need to add an MX record to your domain so that our server can handle incoming emails. You can then add a few other records to enable sending from your domain too. | ||

#### **What if I don't trust you?** | ||

It's good to keep your guard up when online so you should never trust anyone 100%. I'll try my best to be as honest and transparent as I can but if you still aren't convinced you can always just fire up your own server and self-host this application. You'll need to know about server administration and PHP. I'll be adding more details on how to do this soon. | ||
