The registry, I can live with.
Repositories? Seeing the mess that NPM can create, I genuinely wonder WTF happened when I wasn't looking. I have coworkers putting together a small-ish web site, and their source tree contains well over 100,000 files. I so don't want to live in that world.

Good grief, you're still "sitting up straight" at a desktop?
Debugging for hours if not days is best done in a recliner with a bankie (Depending on how wintery winter is where the coder be).

I don't like laptops. I used to use them for years as my primary dev machine. I have a tendency to break them or leave them places and get them stolen.
However, I do have a 55" TV monster hooked up to it so I can sit back on my bed and use it.

NVMe drive? Good choice!!!

Absolutely! 512GB for now but right now a 2TB one can be had for about $200. Frankly, there's no sense in not using them in a modern PC. Windows boot is faster than my post screen i think. it's hard to tell. Everything is instant.

I have two in my Dell XPS. A 256GB for the systems drive and a 1TB for my data. You dare not blink when they are in action, or you may miss something!

Oh... go daddy does it hey?

GoDaddy's about the worst - really expensive. Cheap come-ons to get in newbies and then they, for the most part, "got 'em" as transferring is beyond what most are willing to do (a well known business axiom). Then they sock it to them with high renewals.

I use NameCheap to host a website (ca. US$ 30/yr) and four domains. Includes free email forwards - even if you don't buy anything from them. They assume you're smarter than a GoDaddy customer so it's a little less straight forward. I adapted to CPanael pretty quickly.

In addition to my earlier reply, this may be useful: 10 Best Web Hosting Services (40+ Hosts Compared) | HostingFacts.com. Don't know if it is any good, since everything on the web is biased by money now, but it may be a good place to start.
Actually, since they recommend HostGator I'd say the list is crap. I had them years ago and their service was abysmal, unless they turned a very tight corner. But the list might still get you started.

I've used HostGator for years and they have good uptime and decent rates. I agree their customer service has a lot of room for improvement. Then again, I run on their Windows hosting platform. They are obviously more LAMP stack oriented (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and their Windows services play second fiddle. But I have worked with several web hosts recently and HostGator is certainly not alone in their shift away from more automated and less personal customer service.

I use Dreamhost [^]
I just run ICMP mail though they support SMTP, and a small static website and a Wordpress site. They are pretty cheap and I've had no issues with them over the years.

I switched from Godaddy to Arvixe to InterServer - Affordable Unlimited Web Hosting[^].
The InterServer move was more than a year ago and have been thrilled with the speed/level of support and server uptime. The web UI gives me nearly as much control for IIS as I have on my local dev box.

GoDaddy used to be good. It isn't anymore and it is expensive.
NameCheap is good, but I didn't get a plan with email.
Although a little more expensive, Hostway is good. I've been using them, I'd guess, for 20 years.
