tcp.com will be shutting down all hosting operations as of February 28, 2007. This page will tell you how to deal with this transition.
(Note: if you have additional suggestions you can hit 'edit' above and add your comments.)
Q) Where can I get basic web hosting/email/etc.?
A) There are a wide variety of hosts available for this. You should be able to get sufficient service for your sites for only $5-10 a month.
Here are some of the hosting services other tcp.com users are moving to:
HostGator (User promo code 'whreviews' for $9.94 off the first month)
I do not have sufficient experience with commercial web hosting services to be able to recommend any particular service, but am currently using HostGator. Here is a list of other prominent web hosting services:
Q) I want to run a mud, run tf, run screen, modify the web server, or other more customized service?
A) You will probably want to get what is called a 'Virtual Private Server' where you get a virtual server to which you have root access and can modify and run pretty much whatever you want. Here are some of the VPS services tcp.com users have used:
RoseHosting VPS (From $20 and up)
John Companies VPS (From $20 and up)
I do not have sufficient experience with commercial VPS hosting services to be able to recommend any particular service, but am currently using RoseHosting. Here is a list of other prominent VPS hosting services:
Q) What will happen to your own web pages, muds, databases, etc.
A) My own stuff will be moved to commercial hosting sites.
Q) Can you still host my web page/list/mud/database/etc.?
A) No. All of these services are available commercially for much cheaper than I can offer them.
