.email TLD is around $25/year, which seems too expensive when .com is less than a half, but it would make it easier to explain why there is no website behind my domain (as I just want something for email).
But there’s also more expensive options, so I am curious what you’re paying.
Porkbun. I paid $11 for my startup’s new .com domain
I really love the simplicity and security focus of Porkbun. It feels targetted at engineers, not wannabe startup CEOs.
