texte = Frank,Sorry to hear ofyour troubles. I would suggest you transfer your domain away from them as fast as you can.I happen to use Bulkregister, others hereuse Tucows and some use GoDaddy (godaddy seems to be the cheapest, but also seems to charge for support).I recently came across some other European registrars that charge in € if that matters, I think they were around €14 per year. I pay BR $10.00 per year plus exchange rate and the 1% courtage fee on my credit card.DaleOn Wednesday, November 20, 2002, at 02:01 PM, Frank Nordberg wrote:> This has absolutely nothing to do with WebDNA, but I know there are a few > European webmasters on this list: > > Last year my site suddenly dropped off the web for no apparent reason at > all.
