Gmail alternative: good idea to use personal domain+hosting? (lemmy.world)

I know there are alternatives like proton mail, tutamail, mailbox.org, etc... But what would be the issue if I create an email using my personal domain, stored in my hosting.. maybe encryption? It seems that no-one even consider this option, but I am not sure why...

What would you suggest?

I have my own domain and pay for Zoho to host my email. It works well aside from the occasional site that refuses to accept my email as valid because it's not a .com/org domain.
