Was with Pair.com for almost 30 years.. and I would still be with them if not for an email Wednesday morning. They were instituting a new policy of $3 per email per month…. By noon I was pretty upset with it having been free for 30 years… I emailed the CEO and he offered a $22 discount for loyalty.
So in the meantime started asking chat GPT - who had the best hosting services and could take or upload the open source Flarum forum for my TrumpetStudio website. We narrowed it down to one.
I am happy to report that I am now with Dreamhost.com I still am trying to get my stores working… but the main pages are up - domains remapped and emails set up…. Unlimited storage for websites - fast ssd (and I mean noticeable speed) and no more bandwidth limits from my old hosting company…
It was hard to do - they helped me with my first website in 1996… nice memories…
It took 14 hours straight to upload 14 new websites, learn the new hosting panel, speak to support for sftp access problems, change the nameservers and set up the emails… quite a process! Hopefully won’t have to do that again for the next 30 years ![]()
But we shall see… happy camper now with mostly everything up and running… nice to have all the emails again after the slow deletion from pair… delete forward - delete forward- etc…
