To date, I have been pretty happy with the service and have not experienced major outages or other problems. But this one is pretty annoying, and their support has been pathetic. I can recommend the hosting services of my employer, VIA NET.WORKS, which I know from the inside and know to be robust and secure (albeit not the cheapest in the market, since we are a business-oriented ISP). http://www.vianetworks.net/VIA_Promos/ Cheers, Nathan > > van: "GeeBeePhoto" <graham@geebeephoto.com> > datum: 2004/02/13 vr AM 09:37:19 CET > aan: <leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us> > onderwerp: Re: [Leica] OT: Help, my web site has been hijacked! > > Hi Nathan, > > I am also hosted by Dot5 but I have not encountered the problem that you > have (yet).
