Get a fun custom tld while youre at it. Fastmail has very good and convenient custom domain support.
I did that when getting rid of gmail (have firstname@lastname.email), it still makes me feel cool and defiant every time I enter it somewhere.
- duiker101 6y agoI use surname.io and I can't believe the amount of people that ask me if .io is not a mistake. Makes me realise how much I live a bit in a tech bubble.
- RegnisGnaw 6y agoI have me@firstname.lastname -- so many double takes when I give it out in person or over the phone
- nvrspyx 6y agoMy surname ends in "io" and I've been trying to get my <partial_surname>.io domain for years. It's a shame that it's being squatted, especially considering the only people with that surname are directly related to me (great grandpa legally changed his last name to something made up when he left a certain criminal group) and don't do anything with tech. I've been relegated to using a <surname>.me domain.
- duiker101 6y agoIf they are related you should find them and ask for it! Have you tried to whois the domain? About the tech bubble, if you are on HN, you are already in the bubble :D There are so many people that have never ever heard of any domain that is not com/net/org/country
- nvrspyx 6y agoUnfortunately, they're not related. My surname is also pretty short, so the first part (e.g. minus the "io") is set up to be a decent acronym...for something.
- amenod 6y agoWant to be really cool and defiant? Go with gmail@firstname.lastname.com - and then you can enjoy explaining to people that no, you didn't make a mistake... ;)
