If you’re moving your email address consider using a mail alias. If you move again in the future it will make the process a whole lot easier as you won’t need to go to all your sites to update your email address. You only need to update the one email address with the alias provider.
I just set up my own domain for e-mail and I use aliases for signups. Why would I use an alias for my main email if I have my domain? Just trying to figure out if I should be thinking about setting that up
This is what I’m most concerned about with moving away from Gmail. I have literally everything associated with my Google email address and, since almost every website uses email as credentials, it means I’ll have to create new accounts for everything. If I move to a new email, I’m worried if they go belly-up or just flat out close my account then I’ll lose access to everything.
I’ll have to look into using an alias, that would clear up a lot of my concerns.

That’s not called an alias, it’s called owning your own domain name so you can take it with you to any email service.
Email aliases mean something different (giving a website an address like thatwebsite@my.domain instead of realmailboxaddress@my.domain).
