Find me a hosting provider with similar rates - I don't have a commercial site - and then get my money refunded that I've prepaid, and the move of my stuff. And I resent you suggesting that I chose them without doing due dilligence, without getting a recommendations for hosting providers from friends, some of whom have been online a *very* long time. I should jump every time a provider falls behind? And no, I will NOT go to gmail - when I use pop-3 and delete, I want it *GONE* forever off the server. mark
