    So... When I started w/ GoDaddy, they were cheap & accommodating...w/ great support & lots of free features. Now, I'm paying over $150 annually for deluxe Linux hosting; & they are now charging $140 annually for SSL (which I don't currently have). In February, Google is going to stop showing websites in searches that do not have SSL...so I really need to make a move now. 1) Can anyone offer advice on a good hosting service that offers a lot of space...offers a deluxe (multiple domain) package...has free SSL...& is cheaper (much cheaper, I hope) than GoDaddy? 2) I have 3 domains & host 3 sites w/ GoDaddy...how difficult a task is it to transfer those domains? thanx, mf

    You need to check the databases offered, too. And, many host are owned by one company.

      I've been using Firebase hosting, they offer free SSL and I think multiple sites although I have only one there. As for space it offers 1GB of space and 10GB of bandwidth. Firebase Hosting | Fast and secure web hosting  |  Firebase[^] Firebase Pricing  |  Firebase[^]

        I also have moved (one last item to go) from GoDaddy to NameCheap. A little getting used to but they really work with you adapting to a new interface (at least for me) - the standard CPanel. GoDaddy, giants that they are, have gotten greedier and greedier. Low-ball pricing to get you set up and then relying on the reliable laziness of most people to not want to change things when the prices skyrocket. Only one more domain to move (and no website). Very Good Riddance.

            I'm on GoDaddy for $12.95/month. I'm looking to switch to something that offers virtual servers that run Windows. Someone suggested Amazon Lightsail. Any other ideas? I wrote an ISAPI Extension for IIS that allows for web development with a language that only runs on Windows (PowerBuilder).

              I used GoDaddy for many years and finally had so many problems that they couldn't resolve that I moved to SmarterAsp.net[^]. They have a completely free trial (no credit card needed) for 60 days and they inexpensive and provide one free SSL cert on some of their options that are quite inexpensive. I've only had a couple of issues there and their tech support is responsive and helpful (amazing these days). Here's my affiliate link if you want to help me get $5 when you do the free trial: SmarterASP.net - Unlimited ASP.NET Web Hosting[^] If not that is fine, but I believe you'll find smarter.asp to be one of the best deals around for value and quality.

                    Oh, yeah, there was that. But my sites were fine. :| Probably why I kind of forgot about it. :-O

                      If you can keep the SSL and hosting separate, I can recommend Let's Encrypt. I now have two domains (one Azure VM and one self-hosted) using it. The certs are setup to autorenew and so far it has mostly worked like a charm.* *The exception involves getting dns authorization to work, but now I believe that was due to my impatience. dns auth is required when using a wildcard (*.domain) cert. I got around it using url rewrites. Good luck and let us know what you choose. Funny that as I was reading this post yesterday, I was in the middle of troubleshooting Let's Encrypt on my self-hosted domain...one of my goals before new years! :)
