Just wonder is any of you hang out on Discord? If there are Vintage computer discord servers? One of the other groups(art) I used to hang around with years ago set one up as the site was essentially dead.

On a side note. My website is down and may never be back up. My domain was through godaddy and my hosting was at hostgo. For some reason I set my admin e-mail to the 386page.com address. Well, something went wrong with my godady account and now I can't access it and godady outright refuses to help.

So any links to that site are likely forever dead. The site still exists on hostgo, but with no domain name linked to it. To be honest It's not really of much use anyway and I could use that $30 a month. Especially being on administrative leave for the last 2 months!

You're paying too much. UCL is hosted with Inmotion Hosting as part of a plan that gives 6 websites for $10/mo.

I've also switched to Porkbun for domain registrations... they're the most fair I've found yet.

I do run one other website. So that $30 is for two sites. But yes, I know I over pay. Sadly Godaddy is not consistent with their billing either. One month may be $29.99, the next month is 49.99. Then back down to 29.99 with no explanation. But I have been with them since 2001, so it might be a pain to move.

That said, godaddy FINALLY responded to an e-mail I sent nearly a month ago and fixed the problem. So my page is back up for now.

Now, do I want to keep the page up. It's not really used much, with an average of 15-20 downloads a month. I also don't really do much with old computers. Every time I try to get one out, it's dead for one reason or another. I'll look into those services and see if it's viable to move. Thanks.

Just a heads up, it looks like the reviews are down on your site (386page.com). They just show a blank screen when you click on the links.

Thanks for the heads up. Unfortunately the code I wrote around 2007 was no longer working with the latest updates hostgo did.

I have taken the site down due to financial problems with still being out of work thanks to covid-19. Have to coast to January with my savings when the library will unquestionably open again thanks to a new budget year. I may bring it back in late January, but likely after a full rewrite.
