My website host has gone out of business - ideas?
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.

do you need php/java any server side processing?
If not I can give you a S3 bucket and ftp-esq upload capability

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)
