Not a problem. I use my Domain so can easily move elsewhere. And I have a backup of all my mail in my email client.
This is good advice for anyone considering to move out of Gmail.
Do not just move to another provider, use your own domain and you'll never have to worry about changing your email address everywhere
I'm assuming just to host it and send through an SMTP provider? Even in the self hosting community whenever I see someone ask about running their own email server the answer is usually "don't". I think because dealing with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC isn't usually worth the effort.
Yes, I own a domain (it's like 10 dollars/euros per year) and I just point the records to a third party service like ProtonMail or Purely mail (they give you the exact records you need to input in your DNS panel)
