Just as a heads up for everyone... I received this email a few days ago:
Quote:Hi,
I am sure by now you have noticed the decay of Simplix.net services. The course of the company unfortunately derailed severely from the planned path. It's with great sadness I write this email to announce the termination of Simplix.net services.
Simplix.net, formerly SimplixHost.com, has been serving clients web hosting, domain registration, and web development services for 4 years. Unfortunately, after the years the company had lost it's value proposition of "simple services" and rather became just another host.
All Simplix.net servers will stay online through the end of 2015. This is an open invitation for all clients to transfer and move to another web hosting company. Simplix.net is close friends with HostWithLove and WiredTree.
If you have a domain name registered with Simplix.net, please be aware that all domains will be unlocked and released for you to transfer your domain(s) to another registrar. We have hundred of domains registered and they will be unlocked in waves of 25 domains a day. Please email domainrelease@simplix.net with any questions regarding the process and/or requests for your domain's release sooner.
Thank you for your loyalty all these years.
Simplix.net Thank you for being a loyal customer, Simplix.net
Essentially our host is closing at the end of the year. But why am I mentioning this now? Well... because our bill is due soon so instead of renewing for 6 months (which would put me into March, well after the host would have closed...) I plan to only renew for a month at most while I transfer over to another host.
I do not yet have a host lined up for certain. However I do have several candidates I am evaluating. And I've sought further options from some people I know and trust regarding hosts.
This also means that there will be some downtime coming once I know for certain which host we'll be going with and when exactly this will happen. I'll update you when I have more info.
