Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? (self.technology)

I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc... But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting.. maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why...

What would you suggest?

I moved over to fastmail and have been enjoying it, but I'm sure there are plenty of people who will tell me why it was the wrong choice.

I’ve been happy with Fastmail.

The cost isn’t too bad at $5/mo per user.

The wildcard email thing is cool. You can use addresses like [email protected] to hand out to companies on the fly.

I may go back to hosting my own, but I have no complaints with Fastmail at all.

Oh I didn't even thinking about using wildcard addresses on the fly. I've been using the masked email addresses, but that obviously requires forethought.
