Hi Jason

Hooked up with Webnames.ca for my registrar. Can’t vouch for them yet, but they got me up in a 10th of the time that it took for Netfirms to return my call.

cheers

Good to have Radical Trust back. I was afraid an April Fools joke had gone awry.

Interesting idea on the “pay upon receipt of service” concept. I can see most web firms shying away in fear that people will just disappear without paying; but that’s largely paranoia, I would think. I’d like to see how something like that would turn out.

Who did you switch to, if I may ask?

Netfirms emailed us yesterday to let us know our site was back online. The geniuses suggested they fixed the problem when if fact, we went to a new company and it was up again in a matter of hours.

stay away from NetFIRMS! Stay away!

Collin:

I really liked your analogy of technology and food:

- they both fuel something else (content creation, meal -> enjoyment)
- they both cost little at the start, take some work to set up and can yield amazing results
- they can both go horribly wrong quickly and spoil (pardon the pun) the experience

Good food for thought on the pay-up-front, too.
