if i recall... 99.9% uptime = out to about 7 minutes of downtime per day
Like I said, it's the ONLY time I know of that it's happened... and they kept their word. At great cost to themselves.

Yeah, it cost me money... but a guarantee like that tells you it's not going to happen often.

They gave up their entire income for a month... but they still have to pay THEIR bills. It hurts them a lot more than it does me.

I'm sticking with 'em. I'll bet it never happens again.
