    <p>Thanks Mik,<br>
      <br>
      Actually there were 2 threads on the topic, discussing but not
      answering David's question:<br>
      And I've been meaning to expand on this because I am still looking
      for an answer.<br>
      Subjects: <br>
                  Hosting/Common logic after SiteGround"<br>
                  [Hidden-tech] Siteground does serious screwup of web
      sites</p>
    <p>The discussion is at: <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/2bc7bdba31ab51f3ffd9a7cdb347c9494632c58a?url=http%3A%2F%2Flists.hidden-tech.net%2Fpipermail%2Fhidden-discuss%2F&userId=2715115&signature=e3bad934614ddc2b" target="_blank">http://lists.hidden-tech.net/pipermail/hidden-discuss/</a><br>
      Under Jan or Feb (view by thread)<br>
      <br>
      The most common element is that hosting companies will all crater
      eventually as the market and technology change.<br>
      The most comprehensive answer was aimed at more 'serious'
      commercial sites that can justify.<br>
             Rob Laporte explained that in details, although I don't
      quite agreed with some of the layers a quote he provides
      describes.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Also there were 2 lower end suggestions:<br>
               <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/0f4ca97b58f96127029f70cd7b9209987881fef2?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhcoop.net&userId=2715115&signature=8b9ecd615822321f" target="_blank">hcoop.net</a> - which is fascinating and might be a good
      answer if you have the technical skill and desire to mold it to
      your needs,<br>
                           (I have the first and probably not the 2nd)<br>
               Hostgator - suggest by Shel - on review their cost might
      be ok for a very few number of CMS sites (WP, Joomla, Drupal) Not
      for more complex needs.<br>
      <br>
      Personally, I am drifting to the solution being a VPS setup and
      look at: <a href="https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/9309bc02c103cf9ce191a552919c11f89f72191d?url=http%3A%2F%2Fhostinger.com&userId=2715115&signature=53cf2738c1151d38" target="_blank">hostinger.com</a> <br>
                 ($12/mon for reasonably powerful vps but still
      researching - esp looking for experiences)<br>
      <br>
      Anyone else with Sites hosting or VPS suggestions ?  personally I
      want an option under $15/mon (for VPS).<br>
    </p>
    <p>Stay well all<br>
