I was just notified by Webfaction that their web sites in the US will be shut down on 9/15/2021.
Since someone on this list recommended that host to me many years ago, I would like to know if anyone has picked out a new host. I need to find a low cost host for 150gb storage and 10 web sites.

Dear WebFaction customer,
This message is concerning your "kmwebfaction" hosting account.
We emailed you in October 2020 to let you know that the WebFaction platform would be closing down, and where possible all websites and services would be migrated to a new platform.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to successfully migrate your hosting package.
We will be closing down all websites and services on 15th September 2021, at which point your website and email will be offline and no longer accessible.
What to do next:
You will need to create backups of your website, databases, applications and emails before the closure of the platform, and move your hosting to a new provider.
The below hosting providers offer additional features which may be more compatible with your current WebFaction package:
- Opalstack (opalstack.com), - DigitalOcean (digitalocean.com) - Heroku (heroku.com) - PythonAnywhere (pythonanywhere.com).
This is provided for information only and we don't make any representation or warranty about their services, nor do we recommend, endorse or approve any particular hosting platform.
Any credit left on your account will be automatically refunded via Paypal within 28 days of account closure on 15th September 2021.
WebFaction would like to thank you for being a loyal customer all these years, and we wish you well in the future.
Regards,
The WebFaction Team WebFaction - Smarter web hosting http://webfaction.com
