So it seems I'll be needing that new hosting offer after all... (Patreon)

I just got a call from MTA, the people that host both TWB and Doc's  Machine, and they laid a nice Christmas present on me: as of December  31st, they will be discontinuing any and all of their public web  hosting. They've always been a data farm for local heavy industry- that  is, the oil field- and apparently will continue to be, but they're  getting rid of their how level public-facing sites like mine.

So,  I have a month to migrate TWB and Doc's over to an all-new host. I know  I got a couple of offers back during the Great TWB Outage Of 2018, but I  was, at the time, still fairly happy with the service I'd gotten for  the last 20 years from MTA.

I am now open to  suggestions. I want a good, reliable host, based in the US, with a help  desk that features live people I can talk to, preferably also in  the US. I need a pretty high data limit- both sites are image-intensive  and get a reasonable amount of traffic. I currently pay something like  $35 a month for effectively no data limit- I've been "Slashdotted", or  whatever the current term is for seeing a huge spike in traffic, several  times, and has caused me no problems with my current host. 

And  the current setup is that the TWB domain name is hosted by one  company, the Doc's domain name is hosted by a second, and then the  actual sites are hosted by a third (in this case MTA.) If possible, I'd  like to have everything hosted by the same company, AND for that company  to be able to provide me with SSL certificates for both sites. (I just  jumped through all the hoops to 'secure' Doc's, and was about to start  on TWB.)

You'll also have to bear with me while we  work on this, as I have two dozen other things of various importance I  either need or want to get done before the end of the year.  We may wind  up with an outage or two, depending on how smoothly this all goes-  remember, software idiot here.  

All  my data is solidly backed up in offline storage, and I'm about to make  another copy as well. If TWB goes down, strip updates will be posted  here and/or on the Guild.

Thanks.

Doc.
