  • Have all the good usernames on all the main services already been taken? A former colleague just gave me their private email address. I thought they had a relatively unique name. It turns out it appears not so. They have name.surname12345@emailprovider.com which led me to thinking, what happens to everybody who didn't get their username for one of the main online services in the initial rush? Is everybody in the future destined to have john.smith45453323@emailprovider.com?

  • Is everybody in the future destined to have john.smith45453323@emailprovider.com?

    Yes, if they insist on using emailprovider.com as the domain. Compared with all the other subscriptions people are happy to pay, owning mypersonaldomain.com is pretty cheap.

  • owning mypersonaldomain.com is pretty cheap

    But doesn't that have the same issue? Have all the good domain names also been taken?
