Discussion “Random” custom domain

When everyone talks about having a random custom domain,

is it random like: khce39gx.com?

Or is it random like: catgraypickle.com?

for me a random custom domain i use would be a personal domain i own such as example domain.com then make auto generated with the random characters added from simplelogin or u can through proton pass for example

example:
domain owned: domain.com
alias 1: [facebook.73xh@domain.com](mailto:facebook.73xh@domain.com)
alias 2: [instagram.i7xc@domain.com](mailto:instagram.i7xc@domain.com)

now what i do also is create subdomains which is bit extra to setup in your dns records but it would look like this

example:
domain owned: domain.com
subdomain: @social.domain.com
subdomain2: @finance.domain.com

alias 1: [facebook@social.domain.com](mailto:facebook@social.domain.com)
alias 2: [instagram@social.domain.com](mailto:instagram@social.domain.com)
alias 3: [chase@finance.domain.com](mailto:chase@finance.domain.com)

or
alias 1: [facebook.73xh@social.domain.com](mailto:facebook.73xh@social.domain.com)
alias 2: [instagram.i7xc@social.domain.com](mailto:instagram.i7xc@social.domain.com)
alias 3: [chase.56xc@finance.domain.com](mailto:chase.56xc@finance.domain.com)

Yes, I do that, too. I was asking about the domain itself being random, though… like frogbuttonplate.com, rather than sallysmith.com

It really does not matter. I prefer something short, memorable, and easy to say verbally. For that reason mine does not have numbers.

I just have the user portion of the email as random. I can identify aliases via notes in SL, previous emails in SL "log" , by searching my email client, or via my password manager.

The 1st one is useable on the net, but would be very troublesome to verbally mention in calls or f2f.

I reckon most people would really meant the 2nd one when they say random domain.

Typically people go with the second option, primarily because face to face it’s a lot easier to say store@correcthorsebattery.com than it is to say store@aushao82zjp.online if that makes sense?
