I own a custom domain for my main email provider so if I switch to a new one I won’t have to change all my address for contacting people. I am considering buy a separate domain for just my email forwarding service.

What do people on here do?

Current Setup:

domain1.com - for main email

alias.domain1.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io

Option:

domain1.com - for main email

domain2.com - for email forwarding with Addy.io

My system is not ideal, but I have a lifetime deal with Proton Pass for $1 a month that I hope they never change because if they do, I’m getting off of Proton.

Currently, I have a custom domain that I use with Tuta, but I will most likely switch to a provider that is less secure and more compatible with third-party clients after my year of subscription is up.

I also have a decade plus of email history on Gmail that I need to search through all the time and people still send me emails to my Gmail account.

Ideally, I would have a second custom domain for my Proton Pass email forwarding service, so that I’m not giving spammers my actual domain that I care about.

Also, ideally, I would have a self-hosted email server and client setup where I could see all my email addresses, including an archive of all my Gmail history, in one place, and it would sync changes from clients back to the central server. But I don’t know if that exists.
