I also tried calling the support line last night, all the support engineers had gone to deal with the flooding... I do hope that Fasthost themselves are not under threat from the floods. As some of your other comments have said, the thought of moving everything away from Fasthost is a nightmare, however all my sites from now on will be on other servers. Perhaps we should be looking at mirroring... probably overkill but depending on the sums of money involved it might be worth thinking about. Matt Houldsworth www.earningfromaffiliates.com Hi

I've been with them from the very start of my affiliate marketing career in 2003. Moving would be a bit nightmarish, but I fear you are right. particularly when I'm likely to often be in non-UK timezones where I might be asleep as my PPC spend gets sucked up for no good reason!

I strongly recommend rackspace, they're a little more expensive, but you have guaranteed 100% uptime (they have redundancy build in). You also get 24/7 tech support. I used them for all my high income sites. For a super affiliate like yourself, you can't afford to have server downtime like that. That's nuts! Hi Kirsty,
