Squarespace ( <https://www.squarespace.com> https://www.squarespace.com) has a good reputation.
If your site doesn’t require any code on the back end (and I would guess it doesn’t, given its age) you could put it on Amazon S3, so you pay only for the storage space (a few cents per gigabyte).

Dear Phellow Phriammers, 

 

I am in the uncomfortable position of being bound by threads of steel to Earthlink.  Many, MANY, years I go I started a website on Earthlink, {http://home.earthlink.net/~nickthompson/naturaldesigns/

}, and put a lot of my writing, and some commentary up on it.  The website creation and editing medium (trellix) was pretty good for its time, and there are many ways that I find the site quite satisfying.  But gradually Earthlink has withdrawn its support, and now I am not sure I could get in to edit or change it.  Meantime, Research Gate has gotten started, and provides a somewhat better place to meet the world and archive my stuff.  And also, having the site on earthlink binds me to them and their 22 dollar a month fee.  So. … 

 

I am wondering if there is a way (or a service that would) scrape the website and, possibly, dump it into a new and more reliable, more website creation medium?  Please, ambulatory knowledge only.  I don’t want a people doing deep searches to answer this  question .  

 

Thanks, as always .
