ISP going away, with web content

bbrown · May 7, 2013

Wasn't sure where to put this, so here goes.

My local ISP, RadixNet, is going out of business as of June 30. I've used their services for about 15 years, more or less, and it's all been good.

Problem is, my personal web page and all its contents:

http://www.radix.net/~bbrown

is also going away, along with all the firearms-related information. Gotta find a new host that won't charge me an arm and a leg.

Suggestions welcome.

Thanks,

Bryan

How about something like a free Wordpress or Blogger site?

Bryan,
Afraid I can't offer help on your problem, but if I were you I'd ask the mods to move this to the Water Cooler. You'll most likely get a much better response.

EDIT: Or just delete your original and repost in the WC. You've got well over the 50 post minimum.

I've used dreamhost for a couple years. Completely satisfied.

I use 1and1 for a bunch of my sites. They have cheap plans.

Your new ISP may also give you some free webspace.

I can provide you with a shell account, which is what it seems you have now, for almost nothing.

You could probably FTP the content right over. Pm me if you are interested.

After more than 20 years in web dev. business - One word: HostGator! :thumbsup:

http://www.hostgator.com/

It doesn't get any better than $3.96/mo (except for free). Great uptime and speed. More than enough space (unlimited), bandwidth (unlimited), awesome service and a very easy to use admin control panel.

Bryan - are you a CLI guy?

If you are, there's always freeshell

I was on Radix for a long time, back when they started I knew the then-sysadmins/owners from social connections, I'm sorry to see them go.

Yeah, most of my stuff at work is via the Linux CLI. My web pages at Radix are hand-built via a text editor and the CLI on my home Mac. No-frills stuff, not needed.

The web pages have become pretty static over the years, mostly since stuff like German/Japanese maker marks, Swiss rifle serial numbers, etc., haven't changed.

+1 for Dreamhost. I've been using it for my Employers' website and FTP for about 10 years

http://www.lunarpages.com has been hosting my personal web page for quite a while now. I'm not exactly a power user of web hosting services, but they've been very good, IMHO

Thanks for all the suggestions. I've posted a notice over on gunboards.com. If nobody seems to use the web pages any more I'll just let them vanish and save myself a few dollars a month.

Looks like you're doing simple static pages. Buy your own web domain for $10 per year and you can host static pages at many places for free.
