We are all well-aware of programmers volunteering their time to open source projects. Another common example are lawyers who work on cases pro bono.
Which got me thinking, what about marketeers? I have never heard of marketeers volunteering their time and skill. Could it be that such marketeers work in small organisations that nobody has heard of? Could it be that marketing requires way more resources than building software or legal work, such that the barrier of entry to volunteer marketing work is set too high for individuals?

If your redirects are all through a central point, then that works, but if it’s done manually, that is a pain to change. So, if your provider changes or you move, it’s a pain. I’ve moved recently, but loved at my last house for 14 years. I still changed providers multiple times, from dsl to fibre-to-node, to fibre to home.
If my email had to change each time I might not have been so nimble. Unfortunately it’s a Gmail address and I am in the process of degoogling, so online mail has pros as well as cons!
