[Leica] OT: Web site host

[Peter Klein]

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!
