![]() In the meantime, I would not go for google mail, simply because although privacy is supposed to be secure, I don’t believe it. ![]() ![]() I no longer bother with my own domain, and I have not used an ISP email address for more than 20 years. If you are determined to have one, I’d second VentraIP, but also consider their “budget” line, Zuver. I’ve had a couple of domain names but no business attached. Then back to the “portability” issue - it seems wrong that this label (email address) that can become used by others as such a deeply important part the personal identity they have for me can then be revoked by my ISP. Your comments do encourage me to think again - maybe one of the major free email providers offers just as good long term certainty as having my own domain name (with the challenges of managing the domain name and email host).Īfter I make that choice then I need to start the long process of extricating myself from dependence on the ISP email address. This creates a degree of “stickiness” that severely constrains me from having any real access to competition amongst ISPs. My ISP email address has become not only my primary contact details for so many purposes (with a lot of contacts and other service providers and subscriptions, such as with Choice!), but also my primary ID for so many online accounts - the prospect of having to change over to a new email address is daunting. They are all very helpful comments - and it is especially interesting to see your different usage of ISP email, versus free email, versus private domain email.
