My renewal fees are up in August to maintain my two blogs…both of which I have had zelch time to update in the past few years.
What to do, what to do. If I give it all up, I know about a few months later, I’ll just start blogging like mad on a free site and then I’ll get frustrated with all the RULES (I’ve got an issue with authority)…and end up buying space at a higher price than I am paying now. So, I know I will renew.
Since the domain fees get hiked after July 1st, it seems appropriate to renew those ASAP.
Now the question is whether I want to continue using GoDaddy’s hosting or move. I haven’t been entirely pleased with GoDaddy. The reason being, although I pay for more freedom…that’s all I get, more freedom…there are STILL RULES, where I can’t play with some cool functionality on this site, because I’ll be nosing where GoDaddy won’t let you nose. Plus, customer service makes it damn near impossible to get into your account if you get locked out due to forgotten passwords and forgotten pins (both of which I just can’t keep in my head). I went through this a year ago, where I needed to renew a domain and damn near forgot all my info. After many guesses with customer service…I finally got access to my account…they wouldn’t even use my credit card as verification that I was the owner of my site!
GoDaddy is very cheap, but I get limited freedom and not total freedom. I’ve been looking into moving hosting to another company, but it is over twice what I will pay GoDaddy. GoDaddy is still dirt cheap…and the price of freedom is so high. Such is life, folks! You can’t have it all.
Any suggestions?
Here’s a current picture of Jillian for your trouble of lending some suggestions.
