VintageGent’s Menswear Daily

The Host With the Mostest

VintageGent’s Menswear Daily has now been on the web for three years, and over two at this location.    It caused much reminiscing, but also a review of certain housekeeping matters, such as web site hosting. It has been a long time since I have shopped around. The feeling is eerily like going back into the dating world. It is an awkward, but necessary step if you desire the ultimate end result. The end result being a beautiful lifetime, or at least long term relationship. What do you think I meant by end result? Oh. I see.  Well then get your mind out of the gutter.  We are all ladies and gentlemen here.

There is a list at Webhostinggeeks.com that lists different choices for various needs. For example, there is a category for web hosts that are adept for hosting multiple domains, or hosting blogs. For each listing, there are reviews from the website owner and visitors. Some sites have a few reviews, while some have in the hundreds.  One cannot please everyone, so there occasionally is a review that might be very different from the consensus, but many times the consensus is consistent.

It seems to me, based on the comments, that there are quite a few hosts that charge very little.  What you need to watch out for are expensive add ons. There is a blog post that mentions the bait and switch.  Some of the add ons are not something I would need, but when you portion out basic services, such as one email account or email forwarding, I can see where it would get pricey.  I am glad that I was able to find some comparisons.   For now, I am going to stay put, even though if this site were a household, it would be due for a move based on national average of relocation.   If and when I should relocate, I am glad I am aware of the new games hosts are playing to compete.   By competing hosts, I don’t mean the two couples who alternately host your bridge game and try to outdo eachother with their beverage selection.  You knew that, though.
