And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's funny because it's true.

Ouch. I swear that if I get my lost e-mails back, I'll save them to my hard drive....and then switch to gmail as my primary account.

So, lovely tech-heads, where should I go for decent web hosting for my little fic site? Angelfire is turning off my fanbase with its pop-ups.

And could that sentence sound any more arrogant?

I have a domain name for the site already.

Connie, I've been happy with Host For Web. They're fairly reasonable, and have been up on a steady basis for most of the time I've been with them. (Outages that I'm aware of have all been of the planned variety.)

What about Go Daddy's hosting? They're offering 3.95 a month, 3.16 (ish) if you pay a year ahead.

That might be who SA's going through, and I think she's been happy with her hosting.

I'd suggest cross-posting this in your LJ--you'll get a good cross-section of ficcish folk who can give you the skinny on who they've liked.

Our wings are not tired.

I've been happy with ICDSoft. $5 a month I think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The green light on the front of my Tivo that's usually on is flashing (very slowly -- like, off for 5 seconds then on for one), and it's not showing anything on the TV screen, except sometimes a brief flash of light. Anybody know what's going on?

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

iValuehost.net have been pretty good. Basic package now gives you 450mb of space and 10gb of bandwidth for $3.95 a month (paid in advance for 12 months).

edited: screw iValuehost, they're a mob of pricks.

...plus five or six IE windows open...

Dude! If you must use IE, check out one of the front-ends for the thing.

What are the advantages of Opera over Firefox? Cause I know there are people here who lean that way.
