@textmonger If you get your own domain name and stick to the sites, which allow for using them, then a move wouldn't change any links. You would just copy the files over and point the domain name to the new hosting provider.
A site hosted by Google has the same URL problems. You might not want to host with Google in the future for various reasons or they decide tho shutdown this service, as they have with so many, even though it feels unfathomable today.

@textmonger I understand what you’re saying, but I do think google sites might be just about the worst option you can choose. In other words, it is a treasonous sounding revelation haha.
If you want, I will set you up with a capsule on my server today (textmonger.owlper.ch or anything else). As the server is also used for my family’s business’s website, there is practically no risk of shutting down.
Of course, Google’s promise of no downtime might be more trustworthy than mine. But I hope you feel that there are reasons to stay small.
I think we need a poop icon for a reaction to google! 💩
@satch I'd really appreciate your setting up textmonger.owlper.ch for me. Hit me at textmonger at nym.hush.com with any important details. @all I'm no google fan, yet when you're dead in the water and somewhat on the impatient side, being able to set something up immediately tends to win over hearing not so much as an acknowledgement for days after signing up for capsule accounts at a handful of places.
I really have liked my time with tilde.team, have not had any issues.

"dimension.sh" finally replied to me, so I'm back at gemini://dimension.sh/~textmonger/ Thanks for all the input/help, y'all!
And... of course... a few minutes later and gemini://dimension.sh/~textmonger/ is a great, big "not found"....
@textmonger gemini://dimension.sh/~textmonger/ works fine for me!
@textmonger I sent you an email.
I'd been hosting my capsule at pollux.casa, which has been dead for days. Any recommendations on other hosts?
