I'm still heavily involved in being a geek in my day job. My favorite phrase is "I hate computers!" I feel your pain. It is really a love/hate thing for me. :-) For a hosting company, I'd suggest Sonic.net <a href="http://www.sonic.net" rel="nofollow">http://www.sonic.net</a>. They're reasonably priced, reliable and California-based, so if it gets really bad, you can actually drive to their office and smack someone. I've used their DSL for almost 10 years and I've been very happy. In my day job we used their dedicated, leased servers and we've been very happy. You can have your very own server for $79/mo including hosting and everything. Shared hosting like you have from your existing provider is much less expensive. Thanks, Dave Joanne,

It's not the cheapest, but it's what people use when they never want their site to crash. I'm planning to move everything over to Yahoo one of these days soon to save a little money.

I checked the site several times while it was down but I assumed that you would be buried in emails. GLAD to have you back online. I’m a slacker.
