If I don't get this straightened out shortly, I'll have to go that route and set up a CF hosting account somewhere else and upload the MySQL DB so they can get back to work! I keep thinking that I'll get this straightened out anytime, but my client's patience is wearing very thin. I convinced them that it would be better and cheaper to have me host the app here rather than pay for another installation of CF, the server OS and hardware, as well as paying me to administer all of that. While this is not a problem with my server or the app, they still are stuck in this situation based on my recommendation. <cfoutput>egg on my face</cfoutput> Rick -----Original Message----- From: Tom Chiverton [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 30, 2006 4:21 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: OT: DNS Problems...

Maybe it's good enough for you to have a standby account you can bring online quickly. From the recent outage, it sounds like a half day downtime to drive to the data center and copy the DB to disk and then up to another account would be better than 3 days of nothing. I can't see why you can't bill the client for 'disaster recovery', but then many people wont pay for it until they've been bitten. > I take one step at a time as a 1-man operation.
