SimpleLogin as custom domain contact (feddit.nl)

Yesterday I purchased a custom .eu domain, only to find out that eurid does not redact the owner's email address. Obviously I'm not comfortable with using an actual email address on a secondary domain.

Any opinions on using an alias as the domain owner's email address? Or should I simply switch to another TLD which does support full whois privacy?

Thanks for feedback.

I've been using a SL address for my domain contact for a couple of years now without issues (.com domain). I would recommend going for a TLD with whois privacy, as that allows you to redact addresses and phone numbers as well.
