Your insistent whinny is directed at your hosting company, yet you continue to post on a forum that pertains primarily to an OS. Your supposed problem would be better directed at a forum dedicated to resolving you problems, imaginary or not. There are literally hundreds of sites that pertain to hosting available. You might want to try this one: https://forums.hostsearch.com/ >> There is an old saying, "Piss poor planning on your part, does not >> constitute an emergency on my part."

The issue(s), at least according to you, have already bite you in the ass. For the record, I have read all of the thread, including your 18 and counting posts to that thread, all saying or relating to the same supposed issue, your inability to get a hosting company to kiss your ass. Poor Aryeh. "Aryeh" good, everyone else bad. >Very few problems cannot be cured with a minimum of effort. >> Unfortunately, all to many insist and cursing that darn night rather >> than lighting a small candle. >> =20 >You just don't read, do you?

Not >taking the lazy way out and saying my hammer sucks and burning it. >Burning hammers causes more problems than it solves usually (like the >fire spreading to your entire workshop). Besides nails tend to break >screwdriver handles when used as hammers. You are really dense, Your options are quite clearly laid out.=20 1) Negotiate with the company. a) Since that has failed, move onto #2 2) Bring legal action a) So far you have failed to do that which indicates that either you have no legal basis for the action or you fear a counter suit that might implement you as culpable in some manner. 3) Failing to implement #2, move to a new hosting company that is either willing to implement your requirements of already embellishes them. As any real mechanic knows, if you don't have the tools you need on hand, whether from poor planning or whatever, you utilise the tools you do have on hand. A nail "may" break a screwdrivers handle, but if that nail saves a ship from shrinking, do you really think it is not worth it? Well, you might. I can just envision you sitting on the deck, crying like a wimp because you don't have a hammer to drive in the nail to seal the latch while the water flows in sinking your ship, all-the-while a screwdriver lays unused in your tool belt. --=20 Jerry --Sig_/izHYSEFQENzE7QN+twAKIpL Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCAAdFiEEIQb/tTwl6I1ueEVtOHMGOIfexWQFAl83+j4ACgkQOHMGOIfe xWQcmwf+Jyl7ccYAJM7QIRq0x3wklTnHG3WgClDD+A5yDCphgMSmLmW1Srxci+20 oE+dHhoEuYLt9WrJZ+cw3jic/trcFy1fizazDIoENnrsYbYnIjmr38uveP6mW+Re LZYbOfySeefbyeUIFP3WMjCiMTtFDmVlSB97AD8J+kLVkdxyL/ncpbHjR7WW1YUe 50Qt87awTDZGwhDr5lGkJbQC3WtJheObtMLEuHnESq1mJzMp2T7x6lh3HkBbATYX /mjxbn6eU1wFo8cFAUZ+Z+dieswx769F2LrDuywbBMxZf0Cd9ZvmX8S4iSkMpXY/ d+7Kxa9jhEG8gA+O2pugV9qlbIeqSg== =TeeJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/izHYSEFQENzE7QN+twAKIpL--
