Just make your own personal email address/domain.
I already have my domain firstlastname.com with Google domains. I can setup email forwarding for free. All goes to my gmail address.
As far as normal people their reaction was "That's cool you have your own email like that"
- Maxburn 4y agoIt's fun and educational. I nabbed first@last.me. Unfortunately my last name isn't quite so easy to spell so it isn't quite the easiest but it's me.
- ipython 4y agoWhat’s annoying is the number of web forms that assume all email addresses must end in .com, .edu, or maybe .net/.org if you’re lucky. And refuses to let you use your nice custom email domain because it’s “invalid”. So I have a .family address for my “primary” account and a gmail account for fallback purposes.
- tunap 4y agoI had myname.com for 15 years. I let it go when I had email hosting issues, the Covid hit & I scrutinized my cost:benefit of inflating registrar and hosting fees over the years.
- jonnycomputer 4y agofirstlast@firstlast.com always seemed a little redundant to as an email address; and me@firstlast.com also sounds ... weird
- TheSpiceIsLife 4y agoI use mail@firstlast.com I also sometimes use first@firstlast.com because some services don't allow emails starting with keywords, Facebook for example doesn't, or didn't at the time I tried, allow mail / info / admin etc.
