For people who use email alias, what things do you use your actual email for?

For those, I can recommend a cheap 3$ throwaway domain name then linked to the aliasing service.

I have never tried using an alias with the specific websites I was thinking of. They are too important for me to risk getting banned, so I won’t even try. I was considering asking those websites if they could allow aliases, but after my recent security crisis, I’m starting to think it’s a good thing they don’t allow them.

That being said, using aliases with a bought domain is a good idea. The only issue is that it makes it easier to identify me as the owner of all the addresses linked to that domain.

But I do think using my own domain for my own default email address is a good idea.

Is it worth buying it from a domain seller likeNjalla that protects privacy when my real name will be in my address?

It also feels calm/relaxing to not be flooded with the 15th marketing email from a company in the same week with them begging for your wallet or highlight their fancy new sloppy products.

Indeed.
