He had TV series many years ago "The Innes Book of records", with some good original music.

One of the most unexpected things I saw him do was host an educational series about English etymology, which he made as entertaining as it was educational.
I've tried multiple times to find it on tape or disc -- and even pirated, as a last resort -- but no dice.

Hmm. I tend to avoid that site (and the company that owns it) as much as possible.
... But, in this case, I'll make an exception!  Cheers!
(Of course, had I been able to remember the title of the damned show, I might have found it a bit easier to find -- search on "Away with Words", and it's everywhere!)

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

Had more or less the same problem, switched to one.com this summer. They have free SSL, using LetsEncrypt.
Normally because LetsEncrypt expires every 3rd month, you have to update the SSL keys pretty often. But one.com has a clever script that does it for you, I haven't touched my site Tungware[^] for half a year but its https:// is still going strong

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

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).

Azure...? Seems like the obvious choice...

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.

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!

So I'm using Gplex, an almost completely undocumented lexer generator.
Fortunately, it's primarily a port of the C lex utility.
So the lex documentation is pretty good but they don't tell you whether the line and column info is 1 based or 0 based.
So I had to find documentation on ANOTHER port of lex, this one in Java
Luckily it had what I needed, but working with Gplex, this kind of thing has become a regular occurance.
I swear my documentation for this program is scattered across at least half a dozen sources, most in dark, unfashionable corners of the Internet.
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.
