>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'm always for my own on this. My data and my mail belong to me, not to any cloud based stuff. It's as simple as my bed is not on the street.

Why not gather a different URL if you skip GLRsoftware?

Allways remember that stuff on your server is yours, stuff on github is not.
