Email on your own domain.

Your address should belong to you.

Email is how the internet checks who you are.
Your address should be yours to keep.

An address on your own domain moves with you.
You can change providers and keep the address.

How email works

What email does, and its limits

Email has known limits.
People still depend on it.

  1. It’s all text underneath. Look at a raw message. Everything, even the images, is converted into text.
  2. The sender is not verified. Servers can verify each other, but nothing verifies the person behind the message.
  3. You can’t block it at the source. In direct messaging, you can shut someone off. Email has no such switch.
  4. Spam is hard to stop. Filters and spammers keep adapting to each other.

A practical note: be careful with “unsubscribe” on email you never signed up for.
It can confirm to the sender that your address is live.

Why keep email at all?

Because email is how the internet checks who you are. Every login, every reset, every receipt goes there.

You need one, despite its limits.
You can have one that belongs to you.

You can be in control of it. That starts with an address on your own domain.

Keep it. Stop depending on it.

An address tells a website who you are.
It should not be how you reach your people.

Connections do that better.
You reach people you are connected to.
No address needed, and nothing to filter.

What we use at Earthgrid

Fastmail

Fastmail is the email host we use internally.

I run many domains on a single Fastmail account. Each person on our team gets their own login.

On top of that, I add as many aliases as I need.
So can you.

One address for every relationship.
Why that changes your inbox.
