Re: [Framers] OT: ISP recommendations? -- Follow-up

I've been using Pair for years. It used to be a bit nerds-only but it
has become more naive-user-friendly while still remaining pretty
hardcore as far as service, support, and security.

I've used LunarPages (https://lunarpages.com) for years (15?) with 
multiple sites/accounts and have had no complaints or significant 
problems. Good pricing/options/support.

I'm happy to endorse DreamHost as your domain 
host (I always think of an ISP as an internet 
service provider--the company that ports your 
internet service into your computer). I've used 
DreamHost for about 15 years and find their 
customer support to be superior and responsive. 
They host a Mailman email group that I sponsor 
and I have several WordPress domains hosted by 
them. They will help you import your WordPress 
site into a new install. I think they charge 
extra for FTP, and since I know you use this, you 
might want to talk to them about that. If you 
tell them I sent you, I believe I get a small 
credit for it. But that isn't why I'm recommending them.

[Framers] OT: ISP recommendations? -- Follow-up

2017-03-03 Thread D L Reynolds 
The following information regarding ISPs may or may not be helpful:

Many ISPs are owned by EIG, the parent company of HostGator and Sitelock, so 
I’ll be avoiding them. Here is a partial listing of the companies owned by EIG: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endurance_International_Group 


Some ISPs aren’t owned by EIG but partner with Sitelock; I’m avoiding them, 
also. https://www.sitelock.com/partner 

Mine is a WordPress site, and the WordPress people currently recommend four 
hosts for WP sites:
Bluehost (owned by EIG, so they’re out)
DreamHost (I’m currently leaning in this direction)
Flywheel
SiteGround

And if interested, postings from other people who have experienced the same 
problem I mentioned can be seen here — and plenty of other places, but this is 
a good (if long) summary. I don’t know if the practice described really is 
extortion, but it sure feels like it.

I use both HostGator and Omnis. Omnis doesn't have as many bells and
whistles, but I never have any trouble with them, and their support is very
good.
