For those of you who use an email address with a custom domain name, like first@firstlast.com, do you use that email address for every online account you create? It seems weird to me to do that if the email address is also my professional address and the domain is used for my professional/portfolio website, but maybe I'm overthinking it.

No! For mail I subscribe / register to because I want to, it's often @mydomain.tld. So I can identify quickly who it comes from, create rules, and see who sold/gave away my email.

For crap that just demands email, I use a 10 minute mail account. If that does not work, crap goes to crap : hotmail of gmail.

In your case, i'd buy a second domain to separate work and private. I don't run a business but some money goes around in my hobby (way way below tax thresholds) and that's how I have it....

    I use theirdomain.tld@mydomain.tld for literally everything. They all go to the same mailbox, and I use filters.
