    Your own domain for email hosting is a massive pain in the ass. Have you not run into a million problems with other hosting providers refusing you for possibly spam?

      Self hosting an email server is a pain in the ass and I don’t really recommend it.

      Buying your own domain and using it in whatever email provider you want is very easy and gives you ownership over the email address. You may switch providers freely without needing anyone else to do anything.

        I wasn’t self hosting. I was just talking about your own domain, which caused me serious problems when flagged for spam.

        Edit: I’m guessing it’s easier nowadays but I still carry that pain lol

      No, not I don’t self host my email which is where a lot of the trouble comes from

      I don’t remember having any issues with it ever. That was a concern so I did slowly transition to the custom domain

        I stopped doing it because I kept getting rejections from Microsoft from my property manager and some other important stuff. Drove me nuts.

      Didn’t try to host a domain myself yet, but having it set up with Proton has given me zero problems thus far.
