But you have to watch it, sometimes the deals are "... with the purchase of ...". I like peace of mind, paying twice a year and the big hosting company takes care of everything. Also, I am pretty selective about whom I give my credit card number to. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ "gmail" domain blocked because of excessive spam.

If I don't stay off for that time I get unreliable connection, many dropouts for days! So far, the unplug modem and wait has worked every time to regain a reliable connection after short power outage. I used to have dialup setup in the old lappy, but recently put in a new hard drive, must find a couple minutes to set that up again, just in case. Grant. -- http://bugs.id.au/

Have you used them before? Happy with their service? What's their shopping cart look like? Worth it? I'm sort of in bed with 1and1, and mostly happy with them. Their rates are comparable, (not enough to matter), but IMO, their PHP and dot-net support is pretty "iffy". There's some webfix stuff you need to do in code (particularly for outbound HTML mail!), which you pretty much have to be a genius to figure out. And I don't think they include a shopping cart, but they might. (?) I normally use ProStores for any turn-key shopping sites I'm asked to set up. Expensive, but it does everything, including eBay, invoicing and shipping integration. Why reinvent the wheel? Hey -- supposed to dip into the 60's tonight!!! Enjoy it while it lasts. August will be here before we know it! -mpm

Agreed. I don't know what program they are using. > Hey -- supposed to dip into the 60's tonight!!! > Enjoy it while it lasts. August will be here before we know it! I had to crank the windows shut at 4:00 AM the other day, when it dropped into the low '60s in my bedroom. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.
