MY WEBSITE IS GETTING SHUT DOWN😞
RIP JOSH HILL POLITICS😞
I run an independent Political Left-Wing news/commentary website called Josh Hill Politics. However, now my website is getting shut down at the end of August. The web host Webs was bought out by Vistaprint. Vistaprint shut it down almost immediately after. Webs was by far the best domain host, with the best prices, the best web builder, & the best everything else.
I assume Vistaprint bought Webs because of how affordable & amazingly user friendly Webs was (Webs Was Literally The Best Service On The Market). My guess is Vistaprint wanted to shut down their competition. I did some digging & I later found that Vistaprint is either partnered with, or owns Wix, which is a direct competitor...
So now because of giant corporations looking to become even bigger Monopolies in our sick late stage Capitalist system, I could lose my platform with over a decade worth of hard work. Also, I'm not super well off financially at the moment. So, I just didn't have all of the extra money in the world to buy storage to back up all of my content (Articles, Interviews, Etc... on hardware such as a Flash Drives or a Hard Drive. Also, my knowledge of HTML coding is very limited.
I had less than a month to find a new web host & rebuild an entirely new website in the image of my old website. It is taking more time & effort than I could have imagined. However, not too long ago I found a new half way decent Web Builder (Nothing Will Be Nearly As Good As Webs Was).
Although, now I am doing a rush job trying to scramble together an entirely new website that is as close to my old website as possible...
