For translators operating in Europe, I assume it is better to have a hosting provider in Europe.
I will go with OVH.

Bummer to see ProZ.com hosting go! Sep 18, 2020

Hi Henry and ProZ.com crew,

First of all, thanks for providing a hosting service all this time.

I remember several afternoons spent eons ago sorting thru some odd feature buried in the depths of cPanel, but overall, I am quite sorry to see it go. I was looking for a "freebie" service that is basic, functional, and doesn't inundate me with ads or other random cyber-nag-ware, but at a loss for where to look. That's not a cry for help...just an observation.

Github Pages Sep 18, 2020

Github Pages (with Jekyll or Hugo)

Free hosting, just provide the domain name (approx. EUR 10/year).

Probably geared to the tech savvy, but pages are edited with markdown, it's no rocket science.

Proz hosting Sep 28, 2020

Hi everyone,

I have been hosting my website with proz.com for years now, and my domain name too. Now, I am trying to submit a support ticket to proz.com to ask for help with migrating to another provider, accessing my old site via the cPanel, etc. However, when I go to the Help page, I cannot see how you are meant to submit a support ticket.

Many thanks in advance for any tips on how to do this.

Best wishes,


Sheila

P.S. I have just found how to submit a support request! I hope someone can help me recover my website and transfer it to another hosting provider.

A really interesting offer... Sep 29, 2020

Hello everyone,

I find this alternative very interesting. Worth looking into: the explanations of use are very well detailed. HTML, PHP, FTP. The only drawback, but it is not very significant, is the lack of email support.

https://infinityfree.net/

Seems to be really free and without ads.

Hetzner for EU hosting Oct 7, 2020

Haven't had any bad experiences with Hetzner as a webhost for several years. I have been using a "bare" VPS server with full root access from the outset but AIUI they also offer pretty cheap managed hosting, including e-mail hosting, for the less tech-savvy.
