    From TimS@21:1/5 to All on Wed Mar 22 14:12:37 2023
    Anyone here doing this with their own domain(s) using a hosting company? If so who would you recommend? I've been using Falcoda for some years, uneventfully, but suddenly they are uncontactable - support not responding to emails, and phone numbers either discontinued or just with a message poining you back to email.

    Payments are yearly, not monthly.

    those are, but some have pockets that are less obvious.
