> I'd recommend at least backups and your own domain for an E-mail address (even if you just have Gmail continue to host the email).

I've yet to find a good solution for this without paying for Google's business product, which I find way too dangerous to risk. You can't get a custom domain on consumer gmail.

You can forward mail to your personal Gmail account.

Anyway why is Google's paid business product more risky than their free Gmail?

1. You need to pay for a mail server, and then you lose the benefits of gmail's spam filters, and also you start having deliverability problems.

2. You lose the benefits of some of gmail's features as they don't classify forwarded emails the same.

Because as a person I have some rights under GDPR, as a business I don't really. Business accounts are even easier for them to shut, and using a business account for personal things sets off loads of red flags. You can't review products, you can use family features, your google home products get messed up, etc.

While data related to a company doesn't fall under GDPR, the data of the person(s) in that company does.
