I used to do the same thing years ago.  I hosted my own email/domain at home from the very beginning.  The only reason I gave up and went kicking and screaming to the cloud and Google for email was due to it becoming impossible to send mail to domains when you were on a carrier DHCP IP range.  

I didn't want to pay for business Internet just to get a static, and saw the "free" google option for my custom domain.  I am always reluctant when I hear the world free because this is exactly what happens.  They change the game once they have everyone roped in and try and get money out of the small personal people using a few email accounts for home use.  Unfortunately, Google has slowly and quietly turned into what people loath about big tech.
