Just a reminder that Google still hasn't unbanned Andrew Spinks[1]
We all knew famous people throwing a fit on twitter would stop working eventually. Now Google products really have no support.
Back up your photos and email *today.* I seriously regret not doing it.

@swiley If you don't host it you don't own it. Sometimes even if you do host. Well, Google bay ban me today and I'll lose little of value. Now, if my server provider pulls the plug it's a different story but you have to draw the somewhere. Not ready yet to have a physical server in the basement.

@erik At least in the US you *can't* host things like email on residential ISPs unfortunately.

@erik Disregard my last toot. I haven't tried with static IPs but my understanding is that you must be a business customer to qualify for those. (and I know they allow business customers to send email.)

@swiley fair enough, same in Germany. You need to get a business plan to get a static IP.

Hosting something on a dynamic IP is in theory possible with dyndns, but mailserver is a no-go as the dynamic IP ranges are blocked by most mail providers anyway.
