Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? - eviltoast

I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc… But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting… maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why…

What would you suggest?

    I’ve read this with concerning frequency, was SPF/DMARC/DKIM all in order? I also have to question if it was a matter of IP reputation, since shared hosting IP ranges are usually pretty thrashed.

    I rent mailbox services (for a custom domain) from a local ISP and don’t have problems with deliverability as such.

      Those were in order (it was 15 years ago so i don’t recall if all existed but at least some did). Probably ip range but who knows
