[Leica] OT: hosting provider going belly up

[Nathan Wajsman]

I just received a notice, out of the blue, that the hosting provider I have been using for many years for the frozenlight.eu site is closing at the end of this year. So now I need to find a new hosting provider for that web site, and a couple of other sites and domains I have with the same provider. Any recommendations on hosting providers in Europe? The existing provider has a deal with another Dutch provider which promises to migrate the web site for free if I sign up with them, but I am not familiar with that particular company and would prefer a big-name provider.

Also, a really dumb question: when I do a whois search on one of the domains I registered through those guys, greatpix.eu (but I just use the domain, no hosting in this case), the registrar is a different company. So even though I bought the domain through the company that is closing, is the domain “safe”, or do I still need to do something with it?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Cheers,
Nathan
