For tonight on @damagecontrolblog, I wrote about why I migrated away from Hostgator, how their service has gotten worse, and how migration turned into an ordeal. Long story short, avoid HostGator if you can.

Bluehost is using an unevidenced claim that freethoughtblogs is "engaging in fraudulent activities" made by a guy calling himself "Deathlord" to shut us down. It's chickenshit nonsense. I am not happy with bluehost.
Many of my former #HostGator colleagues were #fired today after they tirelessly worked to consolidate the #WebHosting brand (along with other #NewfoldDigital brands) onto a single platform.
I foresaw this after a year under the new company, which was created from Web.com’s “merger” with #EnduranceInternational’s web presence division (HG, #Bluehost, etc.)
Believe them when they say you’re just keeping the lights on—it’s only a matter of time before they cut your power.
@joepie91 @kelbot @freakazoid #Consolidation and #enshittification has been happening all over the #WebHosting and #domain market. For example, all of the following are just brands of #NewfoldDigital:
#Bluehost
Web.com
#NetworkSolutions (original pre-#ICANN gTLD monopoly)
#HostGator (where I worked)
Register.com
Domain.com
#CrazyDomains
#Markmonitor
#ResellerClub
#iPage
#BigRock
#SiteBuilder
#Vodien
#Yoast
#Yith
#BuyDomains
#SnapNames
#NameJet
#Freeparking…
