  • I wonder how much of this stems from two stupid IT policies. For decades users have been told to not write down passwords and to change them regularly. The result of this policy is to use a small number of password variations that one reuses. Then IT complaims about it.

    The two downsides of a custom domain are:

    • Only as private as the least private use of the domain. No crowd to mix with.

    • Delivery through SPAM filters of other providers more troublesome. Delivery to AOL/Yahoo, and one of the AT&T managed mail domains has been the biggest issues for me. GMail delivery seems fine.

    Do get a common mainstream suffix not the cheapest. Some filters may tend to filter some TLDs.

    Edit: By the way, I have my own domain and the email for it is hosted at a hosting provider. I recommend it but the above are the downsides.
