Curious if anyone has some insight on things I should look out for with being a UK citizen.

    Excellent advice to buy a private domain. All I would add to your comment is find a registrar that will allow you to not publicise your personal information - name, address, etc. I’m sure they will charge for this but its a small price to pay.

      I think it’s a good idea to buy a private domain but one should also use a privacy respecting email and aliasing service too. Because if your threat model calls for it, one can easily correlate all your aliases that go back to your own personal domain. Using something like SimpleLogin or anonaddy gives you an anonymity set.

      Porkbun have easy privacy options for free, and right on the domain management page. CloudFlare too of course. Also, if you go for a random TLD, like .XYZ or something, do a quick check it supports privacy settings before purchasing.
