I registered my own domain and use purelymail.com. Super cheap, not difficult to set up if you’re mildly technically inclined. Plenty of instructions on how. Beauty of using your own domain is you can take it and use it anywhere without having to change your address again.
You ever have issues with sites not accepting your email? I tried to claim some free games on epic, made an account with my email provider (not Gmail), but I would keep getting errors saying some shit like please enter a real address or something. I don’t have issues with every site but it’s a pain when it doesn’t work.
That’s entirely up to the mail provider to maintain. Purelymail has been really good about keeping a good reputation among major mail players, and that takes a long time to build. I’ve never had a problem with deliverability with them.
There are a few checks that are up to the domain holder to complete when configuring a mail service. You’ll want to complete things like SFP, DKIM, and DMARC records on your domain which are systems that work with your mail provider to prove that you are really who you say you are and not a spoofed email which physically cannot do this. If a site like EPIC checks for DKIM records on setting up an account, then this is in fact something you can configure and is generally free to do.
The most common issue I have is due to my TLD. There are some poorly coded sites that require a .com, .org, or .net TLD before you can click the Submit/Next button…
What do you use for email?

Proton, disroot, mailbox.org, tutanota, riseup (anyone have an invite? No? Ok maybe not riseup).
I use Tuta.
