Apologies Hugh, this isn't directly research related. Vodafone announced today that their "free" homepages which came with the monthly service charge will be shut down at the end of November. I have been using them for 20 years. Like many others I have used the homepages to make available at no cost data from my four one name studies and other information. A relatively inexpensive way of sharing the data as I needed the Internet and email service anyway. If others are in the same situation as I am I would be interested to learn how they intend replacing their homepages. Obviously purchasing a domain name, paying its annual fee, and then paying a monthly fee is an option. I am tossing up whether I should abandon my free service to others and save the expense that I will otherwise be put to. Do any of the readers here have other suggestions ?

For a Domain name, I use Low Cost Names LCN.com <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.lcn.com_&d=DwIDaQ&c=kKqjBR9KKWaWpMhASkPbOg&r=-mWZZZeVf-T2XFKEtPE1g25Egq_c7AQAHDafyY9XXQQ&m=9B0iLe7QL7ogWTVaeDZeNFKSm7bc7JvFmnyojxHYSc4&s=8G2ZvH8yKzzMi2JNVpGVrYGypiifoKOc-eOm6eELSIE&e=> - latest charge was £22 for 5 years for Norster.org.uk <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.norster.org.uk_&d=DwIDaQ&c=kKqjBR9KKWaWpMhASkPbOg&r=-mWZZZeVf-T2XFKEtPE1g25Egq_c7AQAHDafyY9XXQQ&m=9B0iLe7QL7ogWTVaeDZeNFKSm7bc7JvFmnyojxHYSc4&s=DlxNxiVtMHmZanY2TM8d3o30NTQtlHZaaf4OByg_KEQ&e=>. As for a web page, I use Genealone.com <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__genealone.com_&d=DwIDaQ&c=kKqjBR9KKWaWpMhASkPbOg&r=-mWZZZeVf-T2XFKEtPE1g25Egq_c7AQAHDafyY9XXQQ&m=9B0iLe7QL7ogWTVaeDZeNFKSm7bc7JvFmnyojxHYSc4&s=XEqf26EJBB8bcDZXMdiH-Q8DsFErKG87If-K28cRVeM&e=> - just upload a GEDCOM file, and it does most of the rest of the work, but you can 'tweak' it to how you want it. Current cost is £12 per year. None of this is very expensive.
