Compila always ask me to confirm e-mail, each time I log into their web site (not that I log in very often).

For my host renewals, I have to log on and pay - no keeping of card numbers- that's how I like them. >There can be advantages to having the domain names held by someone other >than whoever hosts your site, as I found out a few years ago.
