Not necessary, which is part of the flexibility. I've been [email protected] since the mid 90s. Initially I hosted it at a desktop at work (things were different back then). Then it's been hosted by a couple ISPs, and then I've been running my own email infrastructure for the last ~decade. If I ever decide not to, it's easy to seamlessly transition to third-party hosting, but it'll always be the same email address/domain.
