I've been using a custom domain (with G-Suite, or whatever they call it this week) for over 15 years and I couldn't be happier. If I ever want to move I can take all my accounts/emails/etc with me, I don't need to update any contacts with my new email. It's probably the best decision high-school-me made (buying a domain for my email).
One thing: Don't get cute. I considered buying "stran.ge" so I could have "josh@stran.ge" but thankfully sanity prevailed and I avoided years of saying "No not 'strange.com', 'stran.ge'". Make it easy to say over the phone to an underpaid call center employee.

I considered buying "stran.ge" so I could have "josh@stran.ge" but thankfully sanity prevailed I did this, only out of necessity though – I have a common first name and common last name, which means there aren't any domains available. I use a subdomain rather than the TLD as the 'cute' bit, which lessens the confusion slightly.
- Hasnep 2y agoI have a "cute" email address and don't regret it. I just spell out the entire email address letter by letter, although because I have an uncommon name I have to spell out my name every time anyway.
