Hi all

I'm back on the internet hosting again. Freeparking have be bought by Crazy
Domains and now the support is rubbish.  Soo many emails and so little is
fixed. 

One of the issues is I'm continually getting spam - Prostrate Drones etc which
they cannot seem to fix.

I have 2 options, get a new hopefully NZ provider with telephone support, or
host it all from home. 

Hosting from home looks like a nice answer but as usual nice from the outside,
but deep below, there is a lot more to it.

Anyone hosting their own website and emails and is it worth doing ? 

Thanks Wallace
