I only have one site left on domainsatcost.ca since GoDaddy now handles .ca domains, I just haven't got around to removing the zoneedit links. Thanks, I had heard that it now did.

The domain names were finally released to MELBOURNE IT which easily has the worst customer service in the world. Even worse than YAHOO. They never respond to e-mails and I have been trying for 2 months to get an authorization code so I can transfer my domain name to GoDaddy. My business is in turmoil while I wait for this to happen, since I can't do anything. To make things more interesting, check out Melbourne ITs prices. What year do they think this i? They are charging $35 - $50 a year for domain names and they charge extra for e-mail!!!!!! I had the same exact problem.

Afterall this is not a complaints site. For many of the other hosts I have used, I see more negative comments. That being said, I need them to improve that crappy webmail interface. I spoke to a customer service rep this week and he mentioned that a new one is coming. Mike, email their customer service manager, she is good.

What really makes me angry is that they will not even return an email. I am so frustrated with them at the moment because I feel like they just do not give a crap about their longtime paying customers. We to just renewed our contract, but are now getting 1000's of internal server errors a day. It is intolerable and I think that we will be switching very soon. Do not go with netfirms, they are awful. tx, Mike Williams Hi,

Have you asked them about a power plug? Because they should have been under your seat. I could only imagine that you were driving in one of the very old ICE trains of the first generation, which do not have power plugs yet, because 20 years ago this was no issue. But I would expect that they had upgrade the first class with this kind of stuff. About wifi. Welcome to Germany ;-) Deutsche Bahn had this some years on some trains between Frankfurt and Cologne, but it didn't paid off. They are now introducing this again, but Germans are not so much in rush about that :-) Hhm, strange about what you have written about the ICE. Have you asked them about a power plug?
