Welcome to my new website! Yes, my domain name hasn't changed. But the site hosting has. I know you've noticed, like I have, how companies have been raising prices, but they've raised them astronomically. I recently changes auto insurance for the same reason. They wanted to raise my rates by 40% for no demonstrable reason. My driving record didn't change ( no accidents or claims), the coverage didn't change, they simply wanted more money for the same policy. So I moved my business elsewhere.
It's not just insurance. Everywhere you turn corporate America has been gleefully taking advantage. If not for competition we'd all be completely at their mercy.
My website host is just the latest example. They also wanted to bump the cost of hosting my website by nearly 40%. No new features, no additional services, just a higher cost. I'm sure they were banking on the fact that it's a pain to rebuild an entire website elsewhere. But, in my case, they were wrong.
Sure, it's been a hassle to rebuild this sight but the saving was worth it. With GoDaddy I would've been paying $21.99 a month. Here on Hosting it's going to be $70 for two years. That's hundreds of dollars in savings.
So, it's been moving day. The most work intensive part has been rebuilding the Beginner's Guides to Black Science Fiction and Fantasy and the guide to the Affrilachian Poets.
So, welcome to the new site. Enjoy the Guides, check out my projects, pattern, and schedule—and take a moment to subscribe. Here's to responsible pricing and an unwillingness to be expolited.
