The web site BetterPhoto was one of the fist online photography sites that I discovered / joined. Going back to 2002, it was my only photo site I participated in for a long time. I've waxed and waned there, but not too long ago (early 2024). I even set up a web domain through then (lawheadphoto.com). And in mid 2024, I agreed to provide (volunteer) input ti the guy running the site.
BUT, they had a major, catastrophic server/computer crash back in early 2025. Everything was gone. After months, they had restored some functionality, but they just couldn't seem to get it back up and running. And all historical uploads were just gone. And I basically gave up and moved on, expecting to go back when they got it all resolved.
Sadly, over a year later, they've decided to pull the plug and give up. Disappointing, and I feel bad for the owner, but after a year, not especially surprising.
Big takeaway? I have about 2 weeks to transfer my domain name, or lose it.... Any suggestions for good photo web hosting services are welcome!
Life goes on.
RIP BP....
