I own a .net domain but recently I was able to get the domain that I originally wanted to own. I wanted move over to the new domain for my email which was the only thing I was using my .net domain for.

I only had two email under that .net domain which is just for looking for work and my personal for “buying” games.

What are the ramifications of letting someone else own my domain in the future? (Mostly talking about email)

    In the worst case, the new owner could create the same email account and try to supplant your identity. I think it is very unlikely, but I would not risk and keep the domain for a couple of years, at least, to be sure.

      I defo agree. Keep the domain for a few years, with the email server up still, but flag any emails from the server so you can go through and unsubscribe/change emails on anything using the old address.
