I currently pay 7€ per month and everything basically just works. Had this contract since 2001, some time in between the company (Puretec) was bought by 1and1. I've never been a huge 1and1 fan, but it still works fine, so I'm pretty happy regardless. I don't even use 90% of what's included in the package, so basically I could give you hosting and up to 492 eMail addresses (of the 500 addresses included ;) ) with your own domain for free if you want that.

Re: [Ql-Users] Test email
BTW if Dilwyn's site is down I think I am right in saying that Urs' The Distribution has an image of the site, Slightly out of date unless Urs has updated it since I last checked. If anyone wants to host a copy of my site temporarily until I'm back on my feet (I am getting there slowly!) I'd be happy to send them a copy of my site on DVD or other means, ready to upload (I haven't got space left in my Dropbox, sorry). In fact, if anyone wants to take it over completely they'd be welcome, then I can get back to writing QL software again. I'm not rushing to get it back online until these problems are sorted, I have far more important things to worry about in my life at the moment. The remaining email issues to sort out are: 1. Investigate why such a high percentage of emails via the dilwyn.me.uk forwarding just "vanish". I've tinkered with several email providers in the last few days (and roped others in to send test emails) and that part of the equation is pretty consistent across all providers. As it's a paid service, I expected 123-reg to help. Their communication has been less than helpful. Even with spam filtering and flagging set to lowest possible setting, the number of test emails which failed to arrive was well into double digits, and consistent across the various emailing services used. This has actually frightened me - I'd always assumed people who told me I never replied to their emails either mistyped my email address or sent them to old email addresses or whatever, or that spam filtering knocked out one or two genuine messages, but no, our tests showed that just under 15% of emails forwarded via my domain during the tests failed to arrive. About 5% took 24 hours or more to arrive. I'm not an IT pro, but do you think this means I should not renew with 123-reg next time? Or not bother with a 'domain' at all? 2. Duplicate Gmails in Windows Live Mail. Looking at Gmail forums, it's a very common problem, none of the suggested fixes work in my case. Dilwyn ___ QL-Users Mailing List

Neither is much of the paid stuff I use. For paid stuff, you expect support but my experience of support has not been good. I pay for the dilwyn.me.uk domain and pay for the web space. Frankly the domain has been so unreliable and support so poor I should just do away with it.

I agree with Marcel on this. I used a free host for several years and was very satisfied until it was taken over by another firm. Initially all went well but slowly the advertising on the site became more and more doubtful until it reached the point where Norton rated the site as being dangerous, not because of my content but because of the advertising. I did think of closing the site, but a revival of interest in the advice content gave me second thoughts. Since 2011 I have used a commercial host, 1&1, and I have been very satisfied. Last year I payed £55.75 for the hosting and the domain. Although the QL interest in the site is diminshing I am developing non- QL content so that I can justify maintaining the site. The main snag with a commercial host is that they assume you are a business and you get regular requests to update your contract with new facilities.

Re: [Ql-Users] Test email
Thanks for your patience Alain. This email saga is proving to be very stressful. I am now getting duplicates of all Gmail emails in my Windows Live Mail inbox just to add to my woes. It seems from gmail forums that this is a very common problem and almost as many reasons and fixes as there are versions of WLM, none of which work for me. I absolutely hate Gmail, not one thing has gone right since I started using it. Google should stick to search engines. Purely in terms of emails, it's an inconvenience. However, as I am a person who uses different passwords for all websites, I have about 30 pages of login details to wade through before the old email addresses are discontinued shortly. As such, the email problems make it risky for me to change logins everywhere because emails currently randomly don't get through with no error messages, turn up in random numbers (usually duplicates), and sometimes turn up days after being sent. Until these problems are sorted, I'm effectively out of the QL scene, I'm not going to risk making changes until I have no choice (the old email addresses expire end of the month) Modern IT is getting so bad we will soon be better off going back to pencil and paper.
