Having your own domain shoulders you from google or any other mail provider. Surely that is vastly better.

  We can do a risk profile for an email with a custom domain versus a gmail domain. Do we need to differentiate between custom email domain with self-hosted mail server and custom email domain with gmail? If I self-host the mail server then I’ll have a machine running on digital ocean or ec2 and this machine will accept connections from the Internet. I think this machine should be included in the assessment. So now the risk of a custom email domain depends on when/how I apply patches and how ssh access is configured?

    That is like a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of people with own domains. I don't think that's relevant, at all.

      Could you please clarify your point? I don’t understand the comment as is.

        That we don't need to differentiate on that level. We'd first have to differentiate people that write their password on post-its in an open environment. People that have the same password on all services etc.
