If you are attached to the e-mail address and/or the current hosting,
and they meet your needs... what's the cost of keeping - and simply not
using for connectivity - the cheapest possible Century Link package just
for those items, while getting your improved connectivity from Comcast?

LUG and Olympus friends: A quick query to the groups' collective
wisdom. I am going to change my ISP soon so I can get faster Internet.
I've been hobbling along on a 1.5 Mbps DSL. Century Link can only
upgrade me to 3 Mbps, and has no immediatel plans for fiber in my
neighborhood. Comcast can offer me 25 Mbps,
After I make the change, I will lose my long-time email address and
Web site host. Flickr and the LUG Gallery are fine for my photos. But
I'll need a new host for my musical Web site. Also, I need to decide
if I should revert to my gmail address (which I now just use for
lists), or pick up a new address tied to my domain name. One thing I
do *not* want to do is host my own site or email on a computer at
home, or get into the security business. Nor do I want every email I
write to turn into targeted ads--Google claims they don't do that, but
I am not sure I believe them.
So, might I ask for recommendations for a Web host? And what are
opinions about using gmail vs. getting an address tied to my domain?
Some of the Web providers include a couple of email addresses in their
packages.
I asked this question 4 years ago, and then did nothing about it. A
lot happens in 4 years, so hings change, so I thought I'd ask again.
Thanks!
