I want to move away from google and gmail slowly. It seems prudent to get a domain of my own, so it becomes possible to change email provider in the future, without changing email address.

Do you have your own domain that you use with email? What to think about in selecting one?

@elhult I'd probably just get a .se domain if I were you. They're short, and the domain seems to have a relatively good reputation - I don't see as much spam from there as some other countries.
