I don't know of anyone in town who is providing a 'host a website' kind of solution similar to BlueHost / that kind of point click or drop in wordpress system.

If you need that functionality, I would suggest not in Winnipeg, and perhaps Hello Websites. I haven't dealt with them professionally, but they're good guys.

All the best,

Hi all, but especially Ian, I am local, and a MUUG member since about 1988, and a small-time Winnipeg schmuck who might be able to fill your need. Phone me anytime (like right now) - 24/7 is safe for phoning. My official hosting offerings are shown at (lowest price is $4 per month): http://www.canadagarden.net/CanadaGarden_CWH-VPS-1_HostingPrices.HTML And yes, I have ex-HostGator customers. :) My more general presence is at: http://www.marityme.com/ Hartmut W Sager - Tel +1-204-339-8331, +1-204-515-1701, +1-204-515-1700 On 26 January 2016 at 17:43, Adam Thompson <athompso@athompso.net> wrote:

Unfortunately, while the desire to support someone locally is good, even if I were still in business as a service provider, I would tell you in good conscience to take your business to one of the many, MANY nearly-free website hosting operators out there.

Even GoDaddy (who I don't normally trust to even execute 1+1=10 correctly) offers basic website hosting for $5/month.

HostPapa (canadian) are $4/month.

There's also (still in Canada) iPage, iWeb, SKGoldHosting, BlueBirdHosting ($0 !?), ToonieHosting.ca... just make sure you do some research and make sure your chosen hosting partner isn't complete and utter garbage.

I'm guessing you're with HostGator right now, based on your nameservers. Obviously you're not happy with them, which ... well... doesn't surprise me.

I don't think (but I could be wrong) that anyone local will even come close to touching $5/month for hosting a website. Especially if you need to transfer the domain name, too.

Ah! I didn't know you were doing this. OK, so at least one local person can compete on price.

Thanks, Adam. I'm terrible at marketing myself, and that's in addition to the Winnipeg stinginess and tirekicking practises. I don't just compete on price - I offer good service and consulting too (can I reference you, Dr. Dan Martin?), and that iDigital server with an SSD has stunning performance, along with iDigital's low latency to/from Winnipeg. I can't offer much disk space per dollar on the SSD, though.

Shame on Hartmut (and iDigital) for not being IPv6-ready, though ;-).

Yes, I agree! Now admittedly, I haven't checked iDigital thoroughly in recent months on this topic, because my customers don't seem to care either. Like I say on my site, the world move to IPv6 is going very sluggishly.

[Switching hats momentarily:] It would be really nice if someone would do something like this but on a network connected to MBIX...

I would love to do more with Winnipeg infrastructure, but my queries over the years have gotten me nowhere. If I can do something with MBIX, I'm open to this. So far, I am just the annual auditor of MBIX's books. :) My main love right now is offering VoIP telephony services, but there too, my most co-operative infrastructures are not in Winnipeg. My single best one is in Toronto (with servers elsewhere too), but at least we get a 40 ms latency to/from Toronto and very low jitter with them, so the VoIP service works very well. Oops, I poured out a bit (too much?) of my heart at this opportunity.
