I used to use {first name}@{first name}{last name}.{country code}, however you're giving away a lot of personally identifying data for free wherever you use it, or wherever it's leaked.
If you end up in a situation of online stalking or harassment, then you'll end up regretting making yourself so easily identifiable.
Instead, it may be prudent to use a TLD that isn't your country code as it's usually cheaper in the long run anyway.
As for the email server I use iCloud+ simply because it's bundled in, and you can create aliases, and share it with Family Sharing too. Of course this implies that you're in the Apple ecosystem and don't mind the lacklustre features of the Mail client. Otherwise my next choice is Proton Mail for cross-platform support and reasonable pricing and security.
You can get domains quite cheaply through Cloudflare, or more TLD options through Porkbun.
