        Other reason is the renew fees for special tlds are so unpredictable. Com is surprisingly cheap to renew.

      Whatever name fits your fancy. Go with solid registrars like Namecheap or cloudflare.

      Once you get your domain, you can use most any email provider to handle mail for that domain. Fastmail is really good. Or proton if you want the encryption.

          Porkbun + runbox here. Domain and email together cost less than $30 a year. You can use the domain for free with GitHub pages or cloudflare for a free website too.

            I personally picked Mailfence, but I saw both runbox and mailfence are really good. Tho Mailfence is a bit more expensive
