You can do something with your own custom domain and dirt cheap rates with https://www.nearlyfreespeech.net/

You can deposit some money and if it doesn't get used, it just stays in the account, rather than an automatic cost per month.

Seconded. Love NFS - happily coped with HN spikes as well, and cheap as chips, especially for static content.

I tried it a few years ago, and I had to use a specialized ftp program to upload files. Do they have anything web-based now, like Cpanel?

[jberryman]

I've been with them for like a decade, and I don't think you've ever needed a specialized program. Use whatever you'd normally use to copy files over ssh, sftp, or ftp (but don't use ftp).

[iamben]

Yeah, this. They just use SFTP, which pretty much any program can do. Or just SSH.

But nothing web based - there's a little learning curve, but the forum support is fantastic.

Along with the others, I'm really confused by this. Not only do I just use regular programs, I even use makefiles to deploy on some sites.

I've never seen the need of a "specialized" program.
