with the canonical problem, I went into the CP to poke around,
thinking I could probably fix it in there, no joy so I rang up. He's
on a shared server, they say, and for that level of configuration
he'll have to go on a dedicated server at £65 a month. I said What?
and Huh? and What Planet Is This? and got referred to a higher-up
there who confirmed it.
Jeez!
Given that I'm not the most technically-oriented bloke on the planet,
any planet, can anyone guess at any justification for this?
How do they think they can charge that much for something so basic?
I think it's time to get out of Dodge...:-)

Hi Bill,

He doesn't have to move to a dedicated server, he has to move away from
that host.

My sentiments too.

Actually If a dedicated server means a server running just for this
website
the price is quite reasonable... If that is my understanding.
I am running my own server here in the US and my cost between server +
licence + T1 line
is a lot more than that. I think it really depends on your customer needs

We need the canonical problem addressed and the client's already
paying £18 a month. For that, it should be fixed!

I hear there's also to be one to make you believe in Santa Claus. I
will trust it every bit as much.
