I am trying to get my own custom domain. However for my name with all the major tlds such as .com .net .io and such, @firstnamelastname.tld and @lastname.tld are taken. I don’t want to have a less trusted tld such as .xyz and would rather stick with the popular ones. Only my first name without the .com tld is not taken, so @firstname.io or @firstname.net for example.
I was thinking I could potentially do lastname-mail@firstname.io/net or something of that sort and I think it looks pretty decent. What are your thoughts?
I currently have firstlast.me so you could check out other perfectly good TLDs. I’d probably use .me or .net over .io but ymmv.
Definitely not .XYZ or any of the other spam domains. There’s many our there that are a large percentage spam or scam. Try to go with at least one of the top 10 well known.
On the other hand if I were a boss I’d be happy to receive Gmail or protonmail but I wouldn’t use Hotmail or live personally.
