I have hosted the site at home since the beginning. The main reason was that the company where the domain was hosted had limited disc space with their cheapest option and I wasn’t prepared to pay for a heavy duty option with 100’s of email addresses etc. So I opted for the Mail Only option with the physical site sitting on my own server, just linked from the hosting. Trouble is the world has been changing at an enormous rate and the number of DOS (Denial Of Service) attacks was growing exponentially. It just became too much work to constantly have to adjust the code protecting the server and so I decided to look for another hosting company to deal with. The number of companies offering hosting has also grown and I found Junda.nl who gave me the room for all my media files at a reasonable price, so let them deal with the hackers (bots). Once I had transferred the domain and uploaded the files setting it up was pretty straightforward. Christmas 2025 is just behind us and I’m looking forward to a peaceful New Year.
