I have a bunch of domains that I used to use as my main email addresses for various things, but I don't think they should be used for random alias addresses for non-important or dodgy sites. For those situations I now use Duck aliases, and I have only found one or two sites that don't accept them. For business purposes domain email is desirable, though if your business is basically you and you have a good email address using your own name or some version of it, I think it is equally good, maybe better. I have had various problems with people making spelling errors entering domain addresses, or for some reason getting rejected by their spam filters, while I never have that problem with a Gmail address. Even when I do get spam at my Gmail address I find that Gmail usually quarantines it into the spam folder, and then it is easy to block that address to make sure future emails go into the spam folder.
