For email, I recommend purchasing your own domain name and finding a provider that allows the use own your own domain (like Proton or Tutanota). A catch-all function is also good for making unique addresses per service, so you’re mostly protected from data leaks and spam. Like lemmy@yourdomain.tld or clothingstore1@yourdomain.tld
Will make switching email providers much easier when you don’t have to update your address to tens or hundreds of services you’ve registered on.

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?

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.
