I am not sure "what about" them, but having E-Mail on your own domain is the only way to have an E-Mail address you can rely on to have any sort of longevity while allowing you the choice of providers. Services come and go, they change their policies (or even just their user interfaces) to the worse all the time. Your domain name always stays with you. With an E-Mail address @providername.com you're locked-in to that provider by the huge hassle of the prospect of changing E-Mail addresses. With an E-Mail @yourdomain.com you are free to choose who hosts your MXes today, it could be a 486 PC in your closet, a Xeon dedicated server in a DC, a VPS or two, or if you're so inclined to trust "cloud services", it could be "Google Apps for Domains", "Yandex PDD" or any of the other "bring your own domain" E-Mail services which will compete for having you as their client without you allowing them to lock you in. Having E-Mail at a domain name you own is the ultimate freedom as far as doing your E-Mail is concerned. Wouldn't imagine someone around here would consider the desire to be free just a "vanity". -- With respect, Roman
