My site experienced the same problem often (like 5 times per day over a 6-month period). I was on hosting plan 9S. Typically, the site would be non-responsive for 1 or 2 minutes. Biggest complaint was with mail service. I put it down to overloading of individual servers (needed to keeps costs competitive, was my thinking). Using Skype, I have coordinated access to the web site from 4 people in two countries, Korea and USA, using 4 different ISPs to access the internet. Everyone has the same outage at the same time. So I conclude it is CH. However, I was not really upset, as I felt the price/performance ratio was acceptable (even if a bit oversold). I have recently upgraded to the new VPS server and am not seeing this problem.

It would be very nice to be able to change billing details online, especially to change the credit card used to pay for the site.

I'm trying to install an application, and it's not working. The programmer says that form variables are not being passed between forms. This is a login application, so it has input like: username: admin password: password The test (debug) program should return... LOGIN: Login USERNAME: admin PASSWORD: password That will mean that variable are passed between forms. Since right now it is not happening all you get is this: LOGIN: USERNAME: PASSWORD: Has anybody else seen this? According to my programmer, this is a Server Admin (maybe configuration) problem that should (can) be fixed. EDIT UPDATE After posting this, I contacted Xisto - Web Hosting support via Live Chat. I must admit I had my doubts (am I really talking to a person or some AI program? and if a person, can he/she spell PHP?) but my doubts have been laid to rest. The tech took about 2 minutes to fix the problem (no doubt a configuration issue), and the script is working. ( Thanks, tech support.

I think I understand the process, but as I'm managing an organization's account I don't want to make any stupid mistakes.I have a domain, say mydomain.org, hosted on 1&1. I want to transfer hosting (web content) to Xisto - Web Hosting.com (paid plan). The current domain registrar is 1&1, but I don't want to transfer the domain registration just yet. (I will change registrar when current registrar contract expires. No sense paying twice!)I assume the detailed process I should use is as follows:1) Purchase web hosting space sufficient for the site. I assume I will receive some kind of URL to access the space, perhaps something like myname.computinghost.com.2) Using FrontPage 2003 (my web design SW), create "new web site" on my local machine. (It's not a real web site that anyone could access, of course, just a pointer to myname.computinghost.com.)3) Make some slight change to the web site (so that I can distinguish the "old" from the "new" version). Publish the slightly changed web site content to the "new web site."4) Test the newly-published site (pointing my browser to myname.computinghost.com). At this point the site is "live" at both 1&1 and Xisto - Web Hosting, but a user typing http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ will be sent by DNS to the 1&1 site.5) Log in to 1&1, select Domain Management, sub-select DNS management. Change primary and secondary nameservers to Xisto - Web Hosting.com's nameservers.6) Wait for nameserver change to take effect. 7) Test newly-published site (pointing my browser to mydomain.org). Given the perverse nature of web publishing, some links will be broken, thus...8) In FP2003, edit "new web site" settings to point to mydomain.org. Recalculate all Hyperlinks. Publish again.9) Test site. All should be well, at least insofar as the DNS transfer has anything to do with things.Anything wrong with this scenario?
