For those who have found my website helpful you had best get any info from it you wish to save.

I just received a note from our favorite under paid internet provider, Comcast, that they will be turning off the personal website service by October 8.

At this point in time, I do not know what I might do. There are options and I do not like services with advertisements and I am not sure if I want to pay to maintain a website.

Thanks,

Kevin

You can move all of the pages of your personal web site over to a free Google site.

Move it over to weebly. It is free. Shorter IP address than google. I have both. http://mrtexascitrus.weebly.com/ Very easy to make a website.

Go with the flow and find an alternative. There are many options available. How much money to stay with current company ? Wayne

It costs me $100 a year to host my site, and there is a boat load of photos on it. Pomfret Computer Tech is the company.

Hey Kevin if you do decide not to carry on you can submit it to the wayback machine for archiving. Here is the link to show how many and when you site has already been crawled and saved.
