Ask HN: Setting up custom domain for email

  • > Consensus appeared to be 'Get a custom domain (e.g. with Cloudflare) and use it with e.g. Fastmail'.

    Huh, that's literally what I do!

    > E.g. which email should I use with the registrar to buy the domain?

    Not saying you should do this, but I use a fastmail masked email address as my Cloudflare email address.

    > use it for password manager recovery etc

    The cool thing about fastmail is that it has an integration with 1Password where, if you need to register at a website, you can quickly generate a masked email (e.g. cool.boat1337@fastmail.com) via the 1Password extension at the same time you generate the password. It's reaally nice.
