Get your own domain, its really cheap.

One slip-up and the same will happen to your custom domain - someone will snatch it and get all your email addresses. This is what I am terrified about, sometimes life gets busy, you will miss the domain renewal and bye bye.

You can set up automatic renewals for domains.

Or pay for very many years in one go and not have to worry about renewals. Just make sure you put it on your calendar to renew again in before 10years.

You get many warnings and the domain will be on hold after expiry so you can get it back.
