Recently moved to protonmail. The setup was fairly easy, with proton copying all the mails over and setting up forwarding from gmail. I've started to gradually change accounts over. Decided to subscribe as well, even though could manage without.

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.

Alright, will consider it, thanks for the recommendation!
