    What about the email? How do you deal with the issue, when everything needs a registration, but it doesn’t accept your kadu@kadu.ninja custom email, because it “doesn’t look like a legit address”? That happened to me multiple time with a smaller provider. Also you might not be able to send mail to e.g. gmail because you don’t have the latest <insert whatever certification> on your server. Or when your server gets hacked, it sends a shitton of spam, gets blacklisted, and it will be impossible to get rid of that

      For email you could self host if you learn a bit about warming up and deliverability, but I agree that’s the only exception where people should just use an online service.

      Though for privacy, I do use the custom domain with Purelyemail as the host, but if a site is trashy enough to not allow me to use my email - then I distrust it automatically, and use a Gmail account I don’t care nor use for anything but accepting those email confirmations for account creations, or when stores force me to say an email before adding a coupon or something like that.
