thank you for the link. it looked like any other message board with
similar problems. i'm not much of a tech when it comes to server setup
and maintenance. i have had one or two instances with my email, but not
long lived. it was usually functioning properly within an hour or less.
all hosting companies have their drawbacks. i have found that when i
write to tech support their reply is not as complete as i would like, so
i have to dig deeper; however, when i get a live person on the phone, i
seem to receive a fuller explanation to my request or problem.
i recently inquired about using their forum addition on a new web site.
i queried if it was similar to a cms. my reply was yes it was similar
and that i could add a cms to my package to try if i wanted. they
didn't mention anything about how much extra the monthly fee would be,
but they said that i would be responsible for setting it up.
most of the extra features they offer i don't use (wizards, site maker,
etc.) because i hand code and ftp my files. i don't need a lot of
frills. i like a simple site that is simple to maintain and that
doesn't break down much if at all.
all in all, i have not had any problems with 1 and 1 and am satisfied
for the moment with their service(s).
best,
dwain
