Foregoing the custom domain, some email providers also let you add tags to your address (e.g. your_address+tag@gmail.com). I'm aware of some people who use that functionality to have unique email addresses for each service.

Thanks to it I usually can check if e-mail was automated and also I am not disturbed by e-mails with social media notification, shop promos or marketing spam during work. Also some e-mail providers allow to create many e-mail aliases which shares the same inbox.
