    Note that if you let your domain lapse and someone else registers it afterwards, that person will also gain control over your e-mail address (and likely all accounts associated with it, if they are not secured with an additional factor of authentication / recovery).

      Wow, are you serious? That’s crazy!

      What if I delete everything if I ever let my domain lapse?

      In the same time, it is the name of my company, I assume I will keep it forever until I die.

        As long as you’re very thorough about removing any linked connection from your expired e-mail, you should be OK. That includes all accounts that you registered using this e-mail, as well as all e-mail contacts that you’ve built up using that account.

          Yeah, i get it.

          An email address is a very important tool that is the root of anything online.

          If you start using an email address, everything else becomes attached to it.
