For those of you who use an email address with a custom domain name, like first@firstlast.com, do you use that email address for every online account you create? It seems weird to me to do that if the email address is also my professional address and the domain is used for my professional/portfolio website, but maybe I’m overthinking it.
I have a domain name, if I wanted to create a professional website for a CV or whatever it would be cv.mydomain.ca I could change the auto forwarding away from my blog and just have some landing site.
As for emails no, I do not have one address, I make a new email address for everything (service name),(random Saskatchewan slang)(3 random numbers)@mydomain.ca if a email gets leaked or spammy I either have my server reply with address not found and delete the email, or the email just gets automatically deleted. I get next to no spam and I have extended free trials 2 or 3 times.
I used to get my email hosted by hosthero but they F’d me over the coals because they did not offer a wildcard email. I now have my stuff hosted with easydns who does have a wildcard option.
