    Good advice! I would argue the only downside is having to maintain your own email server. But that comes with the territory I guess. Any low-cost server hosting to consider?

      You would not have to do that if you just use an email provider that allows custom domains. Probably will have to pay up though.

      I’ve heard that self-hosting your own email server is almost always a bad idea as it can/will get blacklisted by sites.

      I don’t think it gets any cheaper than aws ec2 instances, but I use lightsail because it’s super easy to set up and you get the first three months free. EC2 has a free tier also.

      You’ll still need email hosted by someone else, even if you are self hosting, in order to sign up to domain registrar etc.

      It’s very poor idea to use the same domain for contact from a registrar.
