I’ve been toying with the idea of switching my services to someone else. I’ve 
been with 1 and 1 for several years. When I got the service it was $10 a month, 
and they hosted my DNS, registration, email and web site. And I have an SSH 
login to my space on their farm. That comes with something like 2000 email 
accounts, forwards are not counted as email addresses. 

Anyway, the service has gotten more expensive over the last couple of years, so 
I’m checking out my options. So far, I see people talking about DNS. I like the 
one stop shopping approach. Does gandi.net or any of them host the services I 
currently have? Don’t look it up, I can do that, but if someone knows off the 
top of their head, let’s hear it. :)

Thanks!
