We have to stop being naive about our email accounts. My recommendation is to buy a domain name use that as the primary email. It may cost in total around $10

We have to stop being naive about our email accounts.
My recommendation is to buy a domain name use that as the primary email.
It may cost in total around $100/year but it is definitely worth it.
- relics443 10y agoI hear clintonemail.com is available
- divbit 10y agoEvery time I see that, I feel it should be camelcase.. it just reads to me as clin-tone-mail for some reason.
- relics443 10y agoToo soon?
- lern_too_spel 10y agoIt isn't available.
- exolymph 10y agoHow do you figure the cost would come to $100?
- kinkdr 10y ago$20 for the domain name, $6/month for the email hosting.
- dublinben 10y agoYou can register a domain for ~$15/yr from a registrar like Gandi, and they will include several email accounts. Anyone who cares about their online presence should do this.

- dingaling 10y agoAnd susceptible to the whims of and demands upon your registrar or registry. "Torrentz.eu Domain Suspended After UK Police Request " etc Probably best to pick a TLD and registrar outside your immediate jurisdiction as well as that of the USA and EU, which rather narrows the choices. .ch or .me seem reasonable. Little wonder 'normal' people don't bother with all this stuff.
