Ask HN: Would you use a .dev domain for a personal email address?
I've got a pretty good and short .dev domain and am considering making a new primary email address with it. However, I've previously seen email deliverability issues with a .life domain where emails sent from the domain would silently be ignored (not even sent to spam). I would definitely not want to get burned by that on a personal email. I also intend to create new website accounts so it would be critical that emails get delivered like normal.
Does anyone have experience using this domain for a personal email? I've been using one since about three or four years now with no problems at all - except for one site I was signing up to (I completely forget which) that didn't accept the email. But this was a number of years ago and I have never had a problem since. Also, no one has ever told me they never got my email due to spam filters (as of yet). People won't remember .dev If you want a catchy e-mail use .com which people will remember. The only caveat is finding a short .com (All the good ones are taken, although Derek Sivers wrote a program to hunt for short domains so you could go that route) hello, as alsways: imho. ... i personally have a heavy preference for the "good old" TLDs ... a la .com/.net/.org & the ccTLDs. in short: the ones before the "cambrian explosion" of TLDs ... where every crap suddenly moonlighted as a TLD ... *eye rolling* but .dev is one of the better ones out of the huge number of new ones ;)) so: why not!? everybody likes to fight spamfilters ... :/ just my 0.02€ yes
