My website host has gone out of business - ideas?

[smithcorp]

Hi all - got a message that hostinginsiders went bus and will be shutting down my account from April 30. I need to get a new host. Suggestions welcomed.

What do you need? Just website hosting or email also?

Just hosting - I've never bothered with domain emails. Want ftp too - and ideally should be very simple for a tech-challenged old bloke to navigate/use.

FTP? Is this 1995? You should be using secure protocols by now. I hope you mean sftp, and if you don't, I hope you look for that instead of ftp. Client software for sftp is pretty easy to find.

Just learnt something today! Thanks Cursed, I did not even know the difference.

do you need php/java any server side processing?

If not I can give you a S3 bucket and ftp-esq upload capability

What do you use the hosting for?

[norbs]

eCommerce Pix. He is still selling off parts of his cock that got blown off in Nam..

Don't eall use it for much other than linking to documents, images. Its mostly there for when/if I start my own business.

If you are just sharing documents and that yourself, stick with google drive in my opinion. For a simple website, I would use Amazon Web Services S3 storage (what Pixel was offering)
