(A couple people called me on this point offlist and I felt the need to clarify my opinion.)I agree they should have 24/7 support. Just remember that, as an example, Melbourne IT has probably two orders of magnitude more clients than you. A 24x7 pager service would attract a /lot/ of "Emergencies" and as such they'd have to consider running at least a muppet level call service outside of hours to filter "emergency" requests away from the normal signup procedures and over to the People Who Really Fix Things. I resell GoDaddy and they do have 24x7 customer support, but I don't think that's necessary to properly run a registrar. Just have X people available to deal with emergency situations. X will vary based on the size of the customer base. -- JustThe.net - Apple Valley, CA - http://JustThe.net/ - 888.480.4NET (4638) Steven J.
