    Steve, thanks for the comment. I'm sorry you had to learn the hard way, at least now your educated. Very often people only learn this the hard way, on the web uptime is everything. When your down on the net, you virtually don't exist. Just starting out, shared hosting is great, but when your business online gets serious you need to get serious.

    I think the main reason I fell into this trap is that I was stuck, so I went with the quickest and most affordable switch I could. My old host would actually go down reliably throughout the day. As you already know, Michael, I made the wrong choice :)

    If there is a reliable way to sort this out, somebody please let me know :)
