Isn't 0.14% quite high? How many beers would that be for a 80kg male?

About 3.5 pints of English beer, or 3.5 gallons of Miller Lite.

This is what I got in my email today... I had to laugh at the sales speech...
A client of mine are in the process of redeveloping their customer-facing web apps. 100,000 lines of fresh JS code have been written to date, along with 70,000 lines of HTML.
My client want to attract candidates that are already happily employed. They'll be good at what they do, enjoying their work, and probably won't have considered leaving. However, they'll see this as a genuine career enhancing opportunity, working for one of the most developer-friendly employers in Sydney, with a commitment to hiring and retaining the very best talent.
If you know anyone who fits the bill, please feel free to get in touch.

I am about to renew my website hosting with goDaddy. I would like to change the site from http to https, in keeping with the goal to make the whole web https. In speaking with goDaddy, I was told that such a change requires an additional $65 per year. Although that amount is within reach, I have concerns that I may be using the wrong hosting service.
So my question is "what website hosting service is recommended, and why?"

Gus, I'm surprised you're still with GoDaddy. My money's on LiquidWeb[^]. Have been using them (through a reseller) since 1997.

My site is hosted on GoDaddy and I had one mostly minor hiccup with them because they upgraded their hosting servers and then required me to migrate everything.
At first I was quite annoyed, but then the migration went well for the most part and the hosting is better than it previously was (it's a windows hosting account).
Also, from what I can tell they are about the cheapest you can get if doing SSL and migrating to it is supposed to be seamless. I've considered moving to SSL in the future but haven't done it yet so I'm not sure.
Good luck.

GoDaddy's web hosting sucks. Just about anything is better. I use them for my domains, but not for web hosting. Instead of paying the extra $65 a year, you should try something like DreamHost[^]. They use SSDs for all their web servers - even the shared ones.
And for SSL, if it's a personal site, then use StartSSL[^]. It's free and you won't get browser warnings with it.

If it works and the few extra $ are not a problem, then why risk a change if things are working fine? (How fast will you chew through $65 if your site is down for some amount of time?).
If it's a "hobby site", then sure, look around. If it's a "business expense", why keep running around if your ISP is in the "zone"?
(I have a commercial client that uses GoDaddy, and a family member that wanted a "family reunion" site (with "tunes", an album and mailboxes) that I'm still paying about $12 CAD per month for 2 years later ... but they both work and everyone is happy so why bother switching).
(Oh ... Mine had prefixes. 1401 and 7010 Autocoder ... and 360/20 RPG. "Don't forget your word mark"; LOL)

If you have any sysadmin experience, I would recommend using a low-end web server hosted on AWS. Like others have mentioned, you can use GoDaddy or something else for your DNS (I use DynDns, myself).
Depending on the size of the server, the cost itself is slightly higher, but having full control of your machine has always been my preference--GoDaddy and others are usually a PITA if you want to do anything outside what they consider to be "typical" web hosting.
Cloud DIY is not for everyone, but having a machine all to your own is the best bet. Before that, I preferred to run them out of my home office. (Also an excuse to keep fiddling with "teh servers" for no reason...)

I also use DYN DNS, and it is fast and reliable, I also use DigitalOcean for hosting, and are a perfect pair for each other.

K'san, the last of his kind in this system, watched the destruction from his small outpost on the small moon circling the fourth planet in the system. The Geracht Supremacy had destroyed the fifth planet utterly, leaving gravel debris in its wake. His own doom, now only minutes away, was from a piece of that debris.
K'san wondered if the hominids on the third planet would have the chance to grow and wonder at the crater that would be all that was left of him and his guardianship...
