I’m planning on joining the ranks of *******'s who have their own email domain and looking for some advice on how to go about it…hopefully the ukc collective can help!
If I'm correct then I understand I can either buy a domain from a domain registration company (like godaddy or bluehost) or through my chosen email host (i.e. google, zoho). Initially I thought it looked easier and more familiar/user friendly to just do it through an email host (probably google) but this would tie me in to them. The advantage of the former if for example google change their service options in the future and it doesn’t suit me then I can change my email host without losing my domain.
Presuming I’m right in that logic then can anyone suggest a registration company? They pretty much all look like dodgy scams to my eyes and I’m worried they hike the price in a few years and then I’m stuck with them.
Any advice much appreciated. If it helps this is for personal use and the name is looking like it will cost about £8-20 with whois protection.
