Found this hosting service through a banner ad here and I'm wondering if any Yosposters have experience with it. The goon's been around since '03, so I figure he's pretty trustworthy. Still, you're my go-to guys for computer issues and I wanted to make sure I wouldn't get ripped off in case the hosting is provided by some SH/SC dude who doesn't even know what a buttcoin is.

I've given them a slow trickle of money over the past 4-5 years and they haven't done me wrong.

the goon who runs it is real good about responding to support tickets/chat messages and even helped me with an extremely shameful problem with one of my bespoke php scripts

like when you're doing study and you've got lots of tid bits here and there it's neat, copy and paste from website it records URL
and when, and is pretty flexible

but like someone pointed out, yes, unless you organise it well it just ends up as a pit for poo poo. a poo poo out

it's for taking notes and compiling notes and it's a quick key press to add a
note or idea or screenshot and everything is automatically saved [which at the same was a rad concept, now it seems fundamental]
