If I may be frank, I think you may be overestimating the people who'd want a firstname@lastname.com address?
That's been easy for anyone to get if they were willing to pay and spend a few minutes of research. Most people just don't care.
Even if you spent the money on a Gsuite user for every person, you probably wouldn't get more than a tiny handful of users, and most of those would probably stop using it once the novelty wears off.
Are you sure this is even a problem worth solving? What about just inviting those closest to you and asking if they'd want to pay you a few bucks a year for a special email address? Probably it won't be worth the trouble for either of you, realistically.
- consumer451 3y agoThank you. Due to the conversation in this post, I realized that I am going to just manually make aliases via Namecheap (my domain host) which allows 100 email fwds per domain. The receive is the socially powerful part. Telling someone: my email is first@last.com is the general power/benefit. If anyone wants a real email account at the domain, then we can talk more.
- Samon 3y agoReceiving is only half of the conversation though - eventually you end up in a situation where you need to reply from the same address. Also, be prepared for the tech support questions, the "I never received an email from X that they swear they sent", the "My emails seem to take ages to come through", the "My emails are ending up in the recipients spam folder", etc...
