:-) Certianly, if i had my own dedicated server, i would not be in this delema in the fist place. Since I am in the site design and develomment bussiness, and generaly don't get involved in hosting, I simply resell virtual hosting plans for the few clients of mine that wish me to take care of such things. I simply don't have the volume to justify the massive expence of my own machine. (Even if it would make my life a lot eaiser... ) > and it just cost us some programming time.

(TLD's like .com, etc..)
