I've seen some of my off-list replies to SOME people get eaten by one of those sites... sorbs-xxx sounds familiar.. and that was from my HOSTING service.. bad news!

I'd have to look up reviews, comments..tzo would be twice as expensive as dyndns, and we are only talking dns hosting, but I'll look at both. > Interestingly, I had to renew my 12 month service just last month.
