I did this for a few years but I found it to be a hassle, there's always that small percentage of websites that only accept well known email domains. And it's not like I can't use their services since it's for stuff like local utilities.
- antonvs 6y ago> there's always that small percentage of websites that only accept well known email domains. I've never come across that. Do you have any examples? There are hundreds of thousands of non-well-known domains that people use for email. It could be that your domain was missing expected setup, like SPF records, or you ended up on a blacklist somehow.
- vidanay 6y agoNearly 25 years running my own domain email and I have never encountered this either. (Currently using GAFYD for email, but at times it's been virtual hosted, as well as home hosted on a Pentium Pro and dial-up)
- HenryBemis 6y agoSame here, I have been running my own domain for 20 years. I have gotten the 'reverse' though... trying to register somewhere using a gmail throwaway account and getting the message that they do not accept free service emails.
- GloriousKoji 6y agoThere were a few obscure online stores that I can't remember but the ones I do remember I don't want to link for privacy reasons. One was a local water utility company and the other was my university which offered academic email address forwarding for alumni. It was silly as a Protonmail address also didn't work for one of them.
- newscracker 6y agoAnecdotal, but I've seen lazy/clueless developers in some companies who allow only a .com email address to be provided. And this was a few years ago. I don't recall the name. I'm not going to do any business with such services.
