Can you even register a domain without an existing email address in 2023?

  I have no idea. All of my domain names are ones I registered decades ago. But, in the US anyway, I don't think there is an ISP that doesn't give you an email address as part of the service. You could use that to register your domain.

    You certainly could use it to register your domain, but then, arguably, the default "personal" email address is the one that isn't on your own domain, even if that's what we consider "personal" as you could forget to set automatic renewal, the payment method could fail, and somebody could register your domain and gain access to the accounts and setup catch-all email, and parse database leaks for @domain.suffix addresses. I do understand where you're coming from though. I remember the days of setting up my first ever domain via post in the UK! I still have the letter lmao.

      > the default "personal" email address is the one that isn't on your own domain I don't follow. That reasoning would mean that if you use a gmail account, for instance, that isn't a "personal" email address either. It seems to me a personal email address is an email address you use for personal communications as opposed to business communications. Where that address is hosted, or what domain its on, isn't relevant to the question.
