For me the degoogling sticking point is that I have a custom domain (registered through Google domains) that i use for both for my email addresses and my small personal home page.

It would be nice to find a host that offers both hosting and email through a custom domain too.

Google Domains was sold to squarespace. Your domain will be migrated soon/already has been. Check your inbox.

> Your Google domain has been migrated to your Squarespace Domains account. You can now log in at Squarespace Domains with your Google account to manage your domain, example.org. This is part of Squarespace's acquisition of all domain registrations and customer accounts from Google Domains.

Fastmail lets you use custom domains for email and offers DNS and simple hosting.

Lots of hosting services would gladly provide webmail and web hosting on custom domains. I currently use Dreamhost.

That's an odd sticking point. Domain registrars that don't do all those things are an exception. For the vast, vast majority of them the primary things they do aside from registering domains is offering email and hosting.

To host email for your personal domain on Google don't you need to sign up for a business workspace plan?

I use pair.com for that and they have served me well for many years.
