WebFaction joins forces with GoDaddy
- lsh 8y agoI'm now looking for a new email provider. I hear good things about Rackspace and Fastmail, but I worry about US servers and privacy laws so I'm also considering self-hosting on AWS. Any suggestions?
- gingerlime 8y agoI've been with Webfaction since 2010 or so. Between all the shared hosting cookie-cutter sites out there, they really stood out. SSH access by default. Knowledgeable support. Generally good availability. I was recently so happy that webfaction finally added letsencrypt certificates, as a (long overdue) step to improve their service. But this acquisition is definitely a bad direction. Funny that the email landed in spam, and was sent by some kind of a marketing mailer mta1.sut9.co.uk. I'd hazard a guess that it's the first sign of things going downhill... Time to look for alternatives :-/
