OT. A lesson for those with web sites.

August 1, 2009

Set up a second one as a backup. I did that a few months ago and am so

glad I did. My server was taken over by a useless mob of reprobates and chaos

ensued, emails bounced, emails hard or impossible to get, server down, you name

it! Some of you will find the following forum of interest as it shows how bad

the regulation of the internet service providers is:

This is page 1 but there are over 36 pages of major problems with a server

called breathenetworks.

When something goes wrong with an internet server, non of the regulatory

authorities will do anything to help individual customers. Many people myself

included have been knocking our heads against a concrete wall trying to get

people from ICANN down to do something, but no, if this happens to you then are

on your own.

I cannot even get my web site shifted to another server as the DNS

settings are locked and can't be changed as they should be able to.

The registrar enomcentral.com of zetnet are in the USA and can only offer me to

set my site up in America at a cost and with a year added to my domain name

renewal. May be the only way to do it eventually.

Some of you here have commercial web sites, so this may be a prompt to

set up a backup with a slightly different named site somewhere on a

different server to the one you use now.
