J.J.,
Thanks for the feedback and you confirm my suspicions. There is one other
issue that I
didn't mention in the original post. There are times when the host server
serves of garbage,
including text and garbage that doesn't exist on any of my Web sites. That
is typical for
overloaded systems.
I should extend my question to ask if anyone knows where you can rent or
lease a dedicated
server that comes with CF, FTP and email installed.
Thanks,
Nick
