>>To All,

>>Recently I have considered dropping my GLRsoftware.com web site. I have had it for many years, but have done little to maintain it in the recent years. It was a cool thing when I first developed it, but it old (classic ASP), and I rarely do anything to update it. The site is hosted by GoDaddy. Which I like. They also host my Email and FTP. But currently I have offering my GMail email address to friends and clients. GLRsoftware inbox (and spam box) are becoming saturated with email messages I don't even wish to read, yet alone respond. Also with Cloud storage available (MS OneDrive, GoogleDrive, and DropBox), I don't even have to bother with having a FTP client application. Plus I could move many of the download application and tools I offer to GitHub. All of these cover about 90% of the reason I have the web site in the first place. I started it more as a sandbox to learn web development, but became more of a storage area. Besides, having the GLRsoftware.com as part of my email address have giving people that I have an active company, which I don't anymore.

>I follow your reasoning. Having own website - unless often updated - makes sense for me for OWN cloud storage.
I keep ndragan.com for fun and very rarely use it for storage. Sometimes, temporarily, if all other means of getting a file to customer's server, simply downloading a file from there always works. Almost. But other than updating the content here and there several times a week, I don't do much re updating its looks, or reshaping it to follow any fashions. It does look a bit different than it did 20 years ago, but not much. And I've found that its mostly the content that brings visits, not the fancy amount of white space :).
>I/we use Nextcloud for sharing files/documents - no wish to depend on Dropbox, Amazon or Google servers/infrastructure, even if their response time usualy is better than our setup.
I hate the security of DropBox - whenever I use it to get a file to a customer's server, I get an annoying email which is half accusing the person unknown of hijacking it from somewhere in the world. I could share a link - but that link is always impossible to type, and in about 100% of cases I can't transfer the clipboard so I'd have to transfer it in a text file... which is exactly what can't do and why I'm trying to do it via DropBox. And ah they get to know where I've been. Nice.
