There's also giving up in protest of a lawsuit, one of the oldest causes:
>Altern.org is a free web hosting service created in 1992 by Valentin Lacambre and disappeared in 2000. From its origins to the closure, Valentin Lacambre, a pioneer of Free Internet in France, had to permanently close the free hosting service in early July 2000 following numerous lawsuits. This closure was due to the laws of the time, which placed the delicate obligation on hosts to act as judge, censor, and, by default, guilty, as it was deemed difficult and contrary to his principles to control the 21,893 sites that existed on Altern.org at the time of closure.

(Valentin Lacambre went on to be a co-founder of Gandi.net.)

Gandi.net which recently (last year) was purchased by some other corporate entity and subsequently raised all the prices + made previously free features paid. I only mention this as I discovered this week that my Gandi bill suddenly got a lot bigger.

- diggan 3y agoSame here :/ Saw the writing on the wall when the previous purchase/sale happened to some investment company or whatever it was, but thought I could hold off my migration for a while longer...
