    I woke up this morning and checked the site only to find there was nothing there. No site, no message board, no email, no ftp access.

    I called the hosting company in the US and they said I hadn't paid my bill. While back in the UK we have all our credit cards reissued to avoid having them expire while we are in Mexico and then getting them couriered over. The card I pay the monthly fees with was renewed and the old card cancelled.

    What amazes me is the hosting company never bothered to tell me the old card was declined..... they just switched off the site without as much as an email. Some customer service!

    Have booked our flights back today, we'll be returning home next Monday, 11th June.

    I didn't even log on until now but I can imagine how shocked you were, Steve.

    You must have had Chip flash backs.

    Looks like your hosting company could use a few lessons in customer service.
