Previously, I had registered my personal domain with GoDaddy and forwarded it to web space provided by my university. As I am no longer employed by said university (and plan on moving to a few different positions in the next few years). I would like to migrate the domain from being forward-only at GoDaddy to a registrar/hosting service.
I use ICDSoft (https://www.icdsoft.com/) for my "business" web site (I make a few hundred on it after you subtract hosting costs, hence the quotes) for $72/year (including domain registration). I am pleased with their uptime and the few times I have needed customer service, they have been reasonably accommodating.
That said, my personal website needs little in the way of bandwidth and that might be overkill. I could probably use 1-2 GB of storage. I am way, WAY out of the game regarding what services/cost are reasonable these days.
Can I do better than $72/year for these services? If yes, does anyone have any recommendations? One perk that isn't necessary but would be nice is SSH/SFTP access where I can hook up a public/private key to allow me to upload diagnostics from a project I run on a supercomputing cluster.
Also, how do I go about migrating my domain from GoDaddy? Do I sign up with a new host, ask to migrate the domain, and they handle it?
