[ic] In Desperate need of a NEW HOST

Hi, my last word on this subject.

If an ISP provides "e-commerce" in its hosting package and uses Interchange
to do so, they should be prepared for the "hosting" price (however low that
is) to make sure that the program is running correctly, especially features
as the PGP and payment gateway. Otherwise you are deceiving customers and
giving the wonderful program of Interchange a bad name. I am not talking
about configuring the store itself. Many ISP's like Korksoft offer
Interchange but it is not working properly or charge extra for e.g. to setup
the PGP or gateway without mentioning this on their website when they sell
the service to you.

Regards

Anton Vandeplas

Thats exactly where I was getting at Doug. You get what you pay for. You do
not
get top technical support when you pay such a nice low price.

Make it a great day
