- nerdawson 4y agoRegardless it’s inappropriate to republish that email address unless he displays it publicly himself
- jesterman 4y agoYou are correct, I’ve edited and removed it. Thank you for pointing that out.
- smcl 4y agoI am guessing that this was relating to certain individuals having Hotmail accounts, rather than more official sounding email addresses? I won't repeat any addresses here, but it did strike me as odd too. Hell even I have a @mylastname.org email address and I'm a nobody.
- simonw 4y agoHaving an email address at your own domain is incredibly risky for most people - because it requires them to reliably renew that domain name every year for the rest of their lives.
- PuffinBlue 4y agoFUD - No it doesn’t. Just renew it every 10 years or whatever max renewal is available. Absolutely no requirement to do it every year. You will also get multiple minders and grace periods if you forget too. That’s not to say ‘most people’ should have their own domain, but renewal is one of the least tricky aspects of domain ownership.
- smcl 4y agoSo there is a risk to some extent - if you forget to renew and ignore any reminders you receive you'll lose your domain and access to anything attached to it. But that's like saying you shouldn't get a mortgage and buy a house, because if you stop paying your mortgage at some point and ignore your bank's increasingly anxious and strongly-worded letters then you'll lose your house.
