Worth noting that this can be more dangerous if you do not do it properly. If the hacker can compromise your account at the domain registrar, they can route the mail to their own server. This has happened in the past.

At least if domain is not dissolved you can restore your access later. Nothing is perfect, at least with your own domain you have some rights. Good luck getting your account after google algorithm decided to suspend it or company goes rage.
