- callahad 6y agoI suspect parent is referring to how actual service backing an email address can transparently change from Gmail to Hey to Fastmail and so on. The hosting is separate from the identity.
- danielheath 6y agoYes - on mastodon, plemora and others you cannot use your own domain with a shared host.
