I may before the end of the year switch to another website option, as I’m finding my Dreamhost VPS hosting plan is costing me way too much at the moment (even though it’s an amazing service & support), primarily because the US to Canadian exchange rate bumps it up from $20/month US to $30/month CDN. If I was actually making money from my work at the moment, it wouldn’t be a big deal but I’m not as yet.
I’m looking at both Substack and Medium as other potential options, although I’m not hot on either, due to their limited formatting capabilities (i.e. they can’t even do a proper quote and citation, which seems nuts for long form publishing services). My basic requirement is that I can utilize my domain names and it be fairly affordable. Since Substack has a $50 one time feed for domains, I’ll more than likely use Medium (which is only $5/month US and you can apply multiple domains to multiple publications for just that one fee).
If I didn’t care about using my domains though, then Substack would probably be the easier solution, as it’s base service is completely free.
