TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I'm using Bluehost at the moment. They hold the domain registration
simply as a courtesy, to assure privacy (domain ownership is a rather
large flag for some kinds of spam, I understand). They will release it
to my name at my request, either while using Bluehost or should I
decide to leave.
I am also thinking of using The Hosting Team for another site I have
in mind--the 50% first-year discount offered to list members is a good
incentive.
Unlike most others, though, Bluehost has no storage or bandwidth
minimums. The only drawback I have found so far is that renewals are
for three year minimums. With a limited, fixed income at present,
every dollar counts.
