Rent a domain Set up email Use a unique address for every website

I usually pick the domain of the website as the username part.

So if, say, I have email set up on lemmy.cafe and want to sign up to flatearth.com - I'd probably use [email protected] for an email address. If they ever leak it - I'll be reveiving spam sent to this address.

In the six years of hosting my own email I've only had one such occurence when namecheap got breached. It was nice being able to tell where the culprit was!
