    I bought a domain and started using it for all my email last year. It’s the best and I suggest it to everyone.

    The combination of your own domain, Fastmail, and Bitwarden is powerful.

    You can move email services by changing a few DNS records and Fastmail has an API that Bitwarden hits to create new masked email addresses using your domain so every site gets a different email address. Start getting spam? You know exactly who leaked/sold your info and you can now send that address right to the trash.

    Is google photos free?

        Keep in mind the maintainers themselves advise that they make changes often and this should not be the only place you keep your photos.

        I just started using it and the facial recognition feature works very well.

        I’ve become obsessed with S3 compliant storage lately so I was going to suggest Wasabi, B2, or Storj as a replacement for Google storage.

        I’ve been using a personal domain for over 20 years. I’ve never had a service reject my email domain.

        I haven’t seen any issues with sending to google or Microsoft services.

        I think I’ve heard of some admins blocking some of the newer ones like .xyz but they were getting lots of spam from those and knew they wouldn’t be getting business mail from there. Though I don’t know how much longer that will be true.
