Is there anybody to help me for the above said problem with my clients host manashost . There customer service is also very poor. And they are also not helping me. I think the hosting facility over there is not good. Thats why always I appreciate Xisto as it is the best. Thank you all in advance. Please do help me.

Some Servers use another name for their Host. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
