The site was hosed for months, but my hosting provider helped me unlock it and make it work again. It’s not like I use it a lot, but I do have a history here going back to 2008, back in more (less?) halcyon days.
And then they gave me a quote for a renewal of $740 for three years, so I balked, and they lowered the price twice, finally down to just under $600, which was still too much. So I said bye and am trying to move everything to this Hostinger site.
They gave me a free domain for a year, so I thought I’d get davidjstreb.com and aim this blog at it. I’ve been waiting for YEARS to get davidstreb.com, but apparently someone has it, even though they aren’t really using it. At the end of the year I’ll have to pony up $22 or so to keep davidjstreb.com.
My startlogic stuff is set to disappear at the end of the month. I have rudimentary websites there for Fitchburg Civic Days, First Parish Church, Route 43 Antique Shop, Partner’s Pub, Fitchburg Farmer’s Market, Fitchburg Library (Sharon, the previous director, wanted to set up a mobile site so I was playing around with something years back), straight2hadestrivia.com (which I could never get the folks at River Styx to adopt, even though I bought two different domains for them!), and twincitiestrail.com.
Actually, I believe First Parish Church is live! Lame, but live! They have another site, but someone has the get Wil to pass on the authentication code to access it. So until they can access it and update it, fitchburguu.com and .org points to startlogic.
Anyway, it’s all going away in two weeks. I hope I learn more about hostinger. Their help chat replies promptly, but it seems to be canned responses. Like it’s AI or something. Anyhow, today was good, in that I was able to get the rudiments of the blog up (that’s this) and the old brewers festival site, which has a lot of history.
