I just did a podcast about how you should own everything (like your domain name, e-mail list, etc). Today I tried to sign into my gmail account (that I’ve had for years) and the password was sent to someone that was not me. I’ve been hijacked. I should’ve been telling people my email was contact “at” musicianscooler.com (or something). Instead I put my faith in Google. I mean, they are GOOGLE. Well now I’ve lost all my contacts, and my fate lies in the hands of the Google staff, and who knows what is happening to my email addresses.
If I had used the email that comes with my domain, I could retrieve it with Gmail, abd if Gmail goes down, I could retrieve it in Outlook. I control it. I don’t control (especially now) what happens with my Gmail account.
If you’re trying to get in touch with me, the best way is 888-563-3228
