seriously, I’m sick of that crap. I pay too much for my hosting, and I’m going to write them a nice little email detailing how much they suck. I went with them for reliability, and they’re not. The place where I used to work has iPowerWeb, and they have never been down, they get more space, and more bandwith. ---

yeah, it’s cheap, but only if you buy it for two years. a 194 dollar bill comes out to something like 7 dollars a month or something ---

You might also check out CIHost. Prices are very reasonable. I have a dedicated server with them and have been extremely impressed not only by uptime, but the quality of tech. support. hth! ---

yeah - I am planning on disabling my [kirupa@kirupa.com](mailto:kirupa@kirupa.com) e-mail account because in the past 2 hours, I have received over 1000 e-mails with nothing but the PIF or SCR attachments. That’s over 80MB of data that MT must transfer…imagine how much sites like ultrashock or k10k must receive from their servers. EDIT: Well, MT is disabling all attachments that end in PIF, so hopefully that should stop the slowdowns and crashes the servers have been experiencing. ---
