This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------030206070900050102050301 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed I spent some significant time researching this about 6 months ago. I decided I was tired of being a sys admin for my low volume of web and email traffic. In the end, I decided I couldn't find good email hosting I was happy with (if you find something, though, please share!). So I ended up with: siteground.com to host my Wordpress blog Godaddy to do my DNS A cheap Linux virtual server to host my email (and for the occasional remote shell access, etc), and some throw-away file web/ftp hosting (i.e. poor man's dropbox) I'm paying roughly $13 to Rackspace for my virtual server which includes 256mb RAM and 10gb storage. There are much cheaper options available these days (in fact today I signed up to try a Digital Ocean Xen-based virtual server for $5/mo for 512mb RAM and 24gb SSD storage). Depending on the reasons you're considering moving away from your own server, some of this info may or may not be helpful :) -- Jonathan On 11/17/2015 09:46 PM, Dale Hodge wrote: > Can anyone recommend an inexpensive Web & Email host?
