 just realized i've had the mollywhite.net domain for over 10 years(!!) related sneak peek into an upcoming piece: i firmly believe that if you're going to spend money on one thing online it should be a domain, particularly as online identity gets more fragmented. as platforms come and go, you can always find me there. 2 comments
 It's also somewhat important to have email on your own domain, at least for receiving. You can still forward it to any of the big services. But in this case, if Google or Yandex or Yahoo or Microsoft decides to ban your account for an arbitrary reason or no reason at all, what would've been a disaster would turn into only a mild annoyance at needing to reconfigure your email setup. |

Hard screaming agree.
Own your web presence. Funnel everyone and everything to it. Make it your single source of truth.
I know writers and artists who invested heavily in a presence on MySpace and Geocities. They had to start over. Many never recovered.
