You can register your own domain to create aliases on the go with Firefox Relay premium.

Firefox Relay Premium allows you to register your own custom domain so that you can create aliases on the fly without a phone or computer. This is especially convenient if you need to provide an email address when checking out at an establishment, and you don't want them to keep your personal email address. __TOC__ =How do I create a custom domain?= #Go to your Firefox Relay Dashboard. #Click the {button Get domain} button. #Give your domain a name. #A notification will appear to let you know if the domain name you chose is available. Your domain name will look something like this: ''example@yourcustomdomain.mozmail.com''. =What do I do after registering my domain?= When you visit an establishment or a website, you just need to provide whatever email username that comes to your mind accompanied by your domain handler, and it will automatically appear in your Relay dashboard '''once an email is sent to it'''. {note}'''Note''': To stop receiving forwarded emails from your aliases in your real inbox, disable the alias you created for a given website or transaction. To learn how to disable an alias, read [[Disable/delete an email alias on Firefox Relay]].{/note} =How many domains can I create with my Premium account?= You can only register one domain with your account. It is not possible to change the domain name later. =What is the difference between a regular email alias and a custom domain email alias?= Custom domain email aliases work a little differently than regular email aliases. You don’t need to generate an email address with your custom domain. You just provide an email address ''example@yourcustomdomain.mozmail.com'', and it will instantly be created when you provide it to a service or website. For example, if you are signing up for a newsletter, you could enter: [mailto:newsletter@sample.mozmail.com newsletter@yourdomainname.mozmail.com], and that email alias will instantly be created and added to your Dashboard. This even works when you are away from your computer, out shopping for instance. You can verbally provide [mailto:starbucks@sample.mozmail.com starbucks@yourdomainname.mozmail.com], and it will instantly be created when an email is sent to it. =Do I have to create a custom alias before I can use it at an establishment?= You don't need to create a custom alias before you can use it. As soon as someone sends an email to an alias that belongs to your domain, it will be automatically generated in your dashboard. =Can I manually create a custom domain alias?= You can generate a custom domain alias from your dashboard by clicking on ''Generate New Alias'' and then selecting your domain alias.
