I don't know. I didn't look at the web site closely that Phil
pointed to.<br>
<br>
However<b> eHost are not a good choice of provider for John</b> for
a number of reasons from what I can see:<br>
<br>
1. They don't appear to be a full service provider, but are in fact
a self service provider.<br>
2. They aren't based in our time zone.<br>
3. They don't configure dns/whois correctly.<br>
<br>
My observation is that John doesn't yet understand all the concepts
of web hosting, so should be using a full service provider until he
gets the concepts. Once he understands those he should then migrate
to a self service provider and reduce his costs. Personally that's
what I've tried to do over the years, though I accept even that can
be hard, and almost impossible when you're on a very limited budget.<br>
<br>
Again, I have suggested that<b> John present his questions in the
Whrilpool.net.au forum</b> which is more aligned to his
requirements, so as not to further distress members of this list.<br>
