Comment on Owners of a domain, which domain registrar did you choose and why?

So I’m quite new to this, and searching around hasn’t been to clear… if I’m looking to have my own E-mail domain, do I buy a domain in addition to subscribing to an E-mail… service… thing?

Yes, you need to buy (register) a domain beforehand.
The e-mail provider of your choice that provides custom domains will ask you to

either point your domain to their nameservers (done from the domain provider’s panel)

or insert/update some DNS records on your domain (either from your domain provider’s panel if it is supported or you can link your domain to another DNS service e.g. CloudFlare)

  Thank you very much! I’ll look into snagging a domain and setting up like, Bluehost or Proton. I use Proton’s free tier now, but it looks like it’s about 3x as much for their good E-mail plan compared to Bluehost.
