A word about my host — NearlyFreeSpeech.NET

It’s mentioned on my about page, but I host this site, brainaxle.com, and the sites of several clients through NearlyFreeSpeech.NET. I also use their domain registration services. This is all partly due to price, but also due to their policies, which are very much pro-web. SOPA is very much anti-web. Another great thing about NFSN is their honest, direct communication with regard to technical issues, outages (rare!), and beliefs and policy. Their recent, level-headed blog post about SOPA is no exception. It’s a great read, especially for people hunting for a web host who will actually work for them.

Hopefully it’s obvious, but I’m not being compensated in any way for recommending NFSN. I’m their customer for the reasons I outlined above — not for any hidden incentive. But well thought-out customer communication like the aforelinked blog post really makes me want to help get the word out about their service.
