    So after over ten years with Lunarpages, they've been fucking the dog, and I want to change. Their emails servers are constantly blacklisted — which means my domain emails don't get delivered ... not good when you're job hunting — and they don't have the fileinfo PHP extension enabled, citing supposed memory problems with it. Not having fileinfo enabled means my concrete5 installation is nerfed.

    What's a good, cheap-ish and *reliable* alternative, these days? Bonus points for Germany-based hosting, though I'll take a look at anything.

    • I can't recommend a host, but when you do find someone, and you have access to admin functions - check this thread out, esp. Sted's responses:detritus

    • This bastardry and my dropping off Google's first page of results has seriously fucked me this year :(detritus
    • Oh my. My eyes are glazing over trying to make sense of any of this.Continuity
    • Det, is your business really that reliant on Google? That must smart ...Continuity
    • Most New Business beyond referrals from existing clients is, yeah. And yes, it very, very much does piss me off.detritus
    • I did get a bit complacent - always been first page, and then last year made site mobile-ready and lite in accord with new SEO guidelines, and.. stats freefalldetritus
    • Didn't realise until far, far too late. Gradually padding site out now, but it'll take time to get back up ranks.. if ever.detritus
    • for email delivery, use a third party smtp service like Sendgrid. all discount hosting including AWS and DO will not deliver email reliablyspot13
