I pay for gsuite for myself and a couple of my domains. Call it $12/month, because you'll want to setup two accounts:

* The admin-user.

* The daily/real-user.

In my case I have my real account "steve@steve..", and "admin@steve" which is the gsuite administrator. I only login to make changes to the domain setup, never to send/receive email.

It's annoying to have to pay for that second user, but I feel happier with the privilege separation in place.

Are you actually the owner of steve.com? Because I've been ordering Dominos pizza with the email [email protected] for years.

Edit: nevermind. I see you own the .net tld. I've definitely used that to order pizza too. Sorry about that.

I registered steve.org.uk in 1999, and steve.fi last year.

(I moved from UK to Finland, so I checked the .fi version on a whim. Luckily it was due to expire a few months after I checked, so I setup a script to register it the moment it became available.)

Couldn't you use @example.com?

example.com is good because it is explicitly reserved for this purpose and has no MX records.

Although very occasionally a service will check for MX records, but that is incredibly uncommon. My go-to email for public WiFi is [email protected] and have only been denied once (<1%)

I prefer webmaster@whatever site i'm on

A fair number of places will deny that, but I like to think it sends a message. I'm not sure how many, if any, domains still have a working webmaster@ address though.

That's a really good idea! I'll try it next time.

It should be possible to enable Cloud Identity Free on your gsuite tenant. So you can use a free identity account for your admin account and only pay for gsuite on your main email account.

Why not me@steve, iam@steve, thisis@steve, thereal@steve or any of the other variants?

I find it strange to send someone an email and address it to "me". Autocompletion may also help when typing steve instead of "thereal".

I've been using [email protected] for a long time now, I realize the repetition reads a little oddly but I've never cared enough to switch to anything else.

I guess I should have started using [email protected] to make it all nice and neat, but I've no desire to change now.

I'm a boring person. I even use my full name for [email protected]
