Very Bad: you@your-isp.com
Bad: you@platform-provider.com (gmail)
Good: you@your-lastname.me (or your-lastname.com)
your-lastname.me or your-lastname.com - is the domain you own.
Once you own your own domain and mailbox - just use platform providers (or ISP) for what they are useful for - as a temporary convenience tools.
Always maintain backups of your mailboxes under your control.
If ISP or platform-provider will misbehave - scrap them for then better offering.
- joallard 13y agoThe problem with that is that it's unsustainable. How many ie. Ben Adams would this work with, ben@adams.me? 1. Now Ben Adams owns `adams.me` and has no incentive or mechanism to offer his domain to the million other people with his last name.
- lmartel 13y agoHis point is more "own the domain you use for email" and less "first@last.me," I think.
