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.

    I own my own email domain and it’s gotten EXPENSIVE (and I intentionally picked what was a low quality tld at the time). Domain costs just go insanely up for no reason other than the older a domain is the more invested in keeping it you probably are. Just something to consider.
