I use Namecheap (note: talking about domain registration only, not hosting). They're also big with the upsell, but I find the interface easier to get through than GD; mostly, though, it's about the domains in one place thing.

I've used ICDSoft for about forever. They have always been very helpful with various technical complications. We use them for our patient portal sites for medical practices so setting up super secure stuff was important.

eta: I checked and we started with them in 2003.

Is anyone familiar with the brand TCL for TVs? Are they any good?

Fired up my Windows VM to run one of my only-works-on-Windows utilities. It immediately started updating. Eight hours later, it's still updating.

SJ they seem to be fine. TCL is a Chinese brand that is new to the US market, they only entered in 2013. They are growing the brand and mainly marketing through Amazon. Lots of features and low prices. The image quality gets decent ratings.

I've got a preference for Samsung panels, but you'll pay a bit more for them. I've just used them for years at home and on installations and they tend to live a pretty long life. The 47" LCD that Pix and I have is a Samsung that is now 13 years old and it's still going strong.

Thanks, ND. I can't get a smart tv in the size I need in a Samsung, which was my first choice.

[link] Does anyone have an opinion on that phone for a 16 year old boy who tends to lose things? He has a dumb phone now.

I would usually recommend stepping up to the Moto G, but those have crept up in price. I genuinely like all of the low price Motorola phones and recommend them highly so I think that is probably a great choice!

Notice that the Standard Version is comparable in price to the Prime Exclusive version. Which you prefer is your call - the Prime Exclusive integrates with Amazon well (e.g. it may include Alexa integration and the Amazon Appstore is preinstalled) which can be good or bad depending.

Thanks Gris!
