I would even go as far as to suggest setting up your email with your own domain. This way switching providers is as easy as just changing a few DNS settings.
I've been running that setup for a few years now and it has been flawless. Spam is almost entirely gone, with a catch-all address I can simply sign up to websites with <website name>@mydomain, makes it easy to track down if one of them ends up doing shady things with your mail!
- johnchristopher 6y agoI have a few domain names but I don't know which one I should use to replace my usual firstnameletter.lastname@gmail.com. Should I go for firstname.lastname@hardtochooseamongwhatsleftdomain.com or mail@firstnamelastname.com ?
- CaptainBern 6y agoI personally have a "vanity" domain that spells out my last name (the TLD forms the last two letters). So I just have <firstname>@<domain> for personal stuff, and then for example git@<my domain> for github, spotify@<my domain> for spotify etc. The mail@firstnamelastname.com approach seems like a clean way to do it as well.
