Bought one for my kiddo.
He’s just a baby but still needs a unique email for me to create him accounts (eg frequent flyer, global entry) and I had previously been using a +variant on my gmail.
Having a vanity email alias seems more fun.
- mastax 4y agoA lot of services don't let you change your email address. Could cause some pain if this service doesn't exist in 20 years.
- matt-attack 4y agoInteresting. Can you name an example of a service that doesn't permit an email change?
- omarfarooq 4y agoMethinks a service that hasn't had a codebase update in 20 years.
- pishpash 4y agoAnd even if they did, some need your old email address to approve a change of email address, essentially locking you out. DocuSign is one.
- theschmed 4y agoI saw the same need, but I've actually purchased domains for all of my children, so that when they get older, I can transfer ownership to them. 10-18 years is a long time window, so I felt that purchasing a domain was more appropriate than setting up an address at a service which may or may not still be available in decades. Thank goodness for services like Purelymail[1] and Forward Email[2] that offer free or cheap forwarding from various domains!
