Re: WEB HOSTS

O.k., Fuzzy -- you are nuts.

I tried that route -- $24.95 with a *recommended* local host.

What did we get?

         Site down at least one hour per month -- usually more
         Absolutely no cgi-bin access
         No forms
         Basically, over-priced and underperforming

I'm at TVCNet  and so are most of my clients -- thank you Darrell and Jim! 
-- those guys are great!
