I'm an insomniac, though not this extreme
Usually I sleep 4 hours in the bad end of the spectrum and almost 8 at the upper good end. The most of my nights are between 5 and 7 hours.
Oh and I tend to wake up, shortly perhaps, at least 5 times per night, but could be more.

That's not too bad ... if you're 80 years old or so.

Halloween is coming, so I've started making Halloween music.
Here's the first[^] on YouTube. I've got two others, so far, but they're elsewhere at the moment.

Based on recommendations here, I've used Arvixe and Webhost4Life for years. Now they both suck. What's the current best value for low volume, personal web hosting?
Will Rogers never met me.

Can only say what I use: WinHost.
I haven't had any trouble with them at all. (I moved to them after Arvixe was bought out and went all suckage.)

Same reason I moved.
After doing some research on the company that bought them out it seems as though they've bought out quite a few with the same result.

I've been using ASP.NET Hosting | Windows Hosting at Winhost[^] for about 1-1/2 years and they are decent.

I use SmarterASP.net - Unlimited ASP.NET Web Hosting[^] (Full Disclosure: that has an affiliate ID so if you want the site just go to www.smarterasp.net)
Anyways, I moved away from GoDaddy (which ended up being terrible). This service is way better supports the latest technology including .NET Core 2.x etc.
I have the .NET Advance plan and it is only something like $15 every 3 months. Very reasonable and you get a lot.
You can do a FREE TRIAL FOR 60 Days with no credit card.
It is easy to convert to the full account afterwards. It's what I did.
Check out there comparison plans at : ASP.NET Hosting with Advance Control Panel[^]

more specification required.
define your level of Affordable?
- both Arvixe and webhost look like about 7$ per month.
- domain name included
- 6 sites
- a bunch of storage space
How are you making your sites?
-A: From scratch or high detailed development (php, asp, html, css, javascript, python...)
-B: or WYSIWYG - ie Site Builders - if dont know what these mean, this is what your using.
If A: - as a visual studio person, I found the ease of using VS Community and pushing to Azure website so easy.
If B: wordpress has a big presence for a reason. The bigger they get, the more developers (they should) hire, expanding the functionality.

It's not a bug, it's a feature.
It's a harvester that also does distribution

<OldFartWarStory>
A long time ago I helped develop software that controlled a fluorescent light tube manufacturing line. At one end is a furnace, dumping out a stream of molten glass. At the other end is some measuring equipment, a cutter, and two mechanical arms. The arms raised cut tubes that met criteria and put them on a conveyor. Tubes that failed were dropped onto a different conveyor and the glass was sent back through the process.
Our job was to run the measuring system, the cutter (which actually just sprayed the hot glass tube with a puff of water vapor, thermal shock doing the cutting), and the arms. On our first test run we discovered that one of the arms was wired incorrectly. Instead of raising or dropping the 10 foot long tubes, one arm lifted and the other dropped, throwing the tubes of glass off the end of the line.

I thought MSDN and MS support defined the bottom, but the bottom reached a new low:
dealing with eBay, trying to resolve a strange issue where I can not pay one seller via the same credit card linked to PayPal that I can use to pay other sellers:
1. multiple support persons responding to each exchange about the same support request with their messages clearly indicating they did not review the extensive previous correspondence.
2. each new support person ignores the advice of the previous support persons, often repeating previous suggestions I had told them did not work.
almost as bad as the experience with Etsy getting a refund from a gem dealer in Jaipur who sold me fake gems with fake certificates. in that case, I created such a ruckus a senior support person finally got called in.
what, you may ask, is old Bill doing with gems: I think I can't tell you on this forum

could be paypal blacklisting the sellers merchant ID?
Even though ebay owns pp they are still run separately - and with all today's privacy laws there's a lot of info they can't share.
IMHO something like that tied to one seller screams: find another seller ASAP.
