Hi, Im thinking about moving from gmail elsewhere but Im wondering if I should use my own domain for it, I dont have the domain yet but how to deal with whois lookup privacy? (Im EU based) are there any other issues I may run into if I chose my own domain over opening a account on posteo.de or mailbox.org with their domain. I know owning my domain will give me freedom to move my email elsewhere if I would want but I dont know if its worth it.
is there a way of creating some “alias” even for the domain? I would not for example want to give my domain containing surname everywhere
Not really. You have the domain for it too be the domain. Just sign up for a Tuta account and have it auto-forward to you.
Also, don’t get a domain that directly links to your name. Just an overall best practice.
yeah I thought it would look professional in cv or in portfolio, maybe I would buy two domains but I dont know what domain name for casual email should I get
Yes, do that! And note that on a number of email service providers you can add both domains to the same mailbox.
Just don’t use a domain name containing your surname - register a different one.
