    If you buy a custom domain then you won’t have to worry in the future, you will be able to switch mail provider without changing your email on any service you use

      That’s a good point. I’ve considered it before, but always struggle with coming up with a domain name. Also, with respect to tracking a personal domain means that anyone can check the registrar information to find full name, address etc?

        Many registrars let you hide your personal data from public whois.

        In the past I used to suggest Gandi as a good service, but they’ve been recently bought by a horrible company and they jacked up their prices.

        Now I suggest Porkbun! I’m very happy with their service.
