I’m a musician/YouTuber. I’ve used Dynamod for my web hosting for many years, and just got notice that they are going out of business. I am considering Bandzoogle, or perhaps Weebly (leaning toward Bandzoogle). Any thoughts? Would appreciate your recommendations. I see that Patreon has a discount for Wix but don’t know if there are any other benefits. I’d like to use whatever hosting I can best integrate with my Patreon/Youtube setup.
I use Wordpress. I’ve used Wordpress.com and Wordpress.org for various projects (and websites are part of my day job so I’m pretty comfortable editing, designing etc). If you want a professional look and lots of options (inc. Patreon integration I believe) without too much hassle then the business version of Wordpress.com will do the trick.
Thank you Francesca! I am trying out Bandzoogle for now, as I am willing to sacrifice a bit of customization in favor of easy GUI-based editing. So far, Bandzoogle seems to cover most of the bases. Patreon integration would be pretty cool, but it’s about the only thing missing from Bandzoogle as far as I can see. I have until the end of May to get the new site up and running - Dynamod goes down after May 31.
Hey there. Bandzoogle is an excellent choice for musicians and they have a Patreon integration as far as I’m aware. They also offer a subscriptions feature, which is similar to Patreon. I’ve used them for three years now and love them. They also have the best support features I’ve come across - you can chat to someone live or send an email. They’ve responded immediately every time I’ve chatted to them and they get back to emails very quickly.
