I haven't been able to collect my email since sometime yesterday. I have rebooted, tried different dialups, etc. I just tried to get to advances.net - server 3 to collect it from there and that site cannot be displayed? Rodona 8/21/99 11:00 PM Quinn, how much longer before the email server is operational again? Advances.C 8/21/99 11:02 PM With any luck, this afternoon...I'm waiting for the new RAID controller card to arrive right now. Rodona 8/21/99 11:02 PM k hate to be without email but definitely understand technical problems :-) Rodona 8/25/99 7:45 PM Time frame on email? I'm going batty :-) Advances.C 8/25/99 7:45 PM I'll set it up on the Advances5 email server for you.....just a minute..... Rodona 8/25/99 7:46 PM k thanks!! Advances.C 8/25/99 7:48 PM Okay it's ready host: advances5.premierservices.com username: contactme@premierservices.com password: pooh98 Advances5 email server from the control pad. Make sure and add any other user accounts you need under this domain. Rodona 8/25/99 8:56 PM Thank you! It works! :-) Rodona 8/27/99 4:46 AM You using bulk mail these days :-)? Advances.C 8/27/99 4:48 AM Uh uh....stay far away from it. Did you ever get a chance to talk to Richard Prince in the UK? Rodona 8/27/99 4:48 AM This isn't you? Data Center,http://www.Network5.net We are located in Ft. Lauderdale, in The International Building @ 2455 East Sunrise Blvd., Suite 401, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33304 Advances.C 8/27/99 4:49 AM Not me no. Rodona 8/27/99 4:49 AM I thought it was - sorry!! Someone is using bulk mail for hosting/bandwidth. Advances.C 9/9/99 4:06 PM test Rodona 9/10/99 2:44 AM Quinn is advances.com down for maintenance or something? My Mom needs some hosting...was checking out your pricing, etc. She has a five page website, needs about 3 email accounts and secure ordering. Rodona 9/10/99 2:46 AM Also, can you look at joestree.com and tell me what you would charge to put a professional touch on that? Advances.C 9/10/99 2:48 AM Hi Rodona! No Advances.Com is not down...it should be up and fine. For that hosting account I would recommend our Standard plan since it comes with 5 email accounts. Please have her (or you) register for new hosting service at http://advances.com/signup and we'll get it setup today for you . Thanks! I'll take a look at that site..... Rodona 9/10/99 3:08 AM Did you get my message about the web design ? Advances.C 9/10/99 3:09 AM Yes I'm looking at joestree.com right now...... Rodona 9/10/99 3:09 AM k thanks :-) Advances.C 9/10/99 3:10 AM Uh actually the site is not coming up....is it http://www.joestree.com ? Rodona 9/10/99 3:10 AM joestrees.com Advances.C 9/10/99 3:15 AM We'd do a cool overhaul for $2800 We just finished a similar site in the range of $6000 (they wanted alot of custom animations and artwork). Take a look at http://www.christmasdesigners.com. Right now the site has about 10 pages. Are we in the right ballpark? Rodona 9/10/99 3:15 AM She wants to cut the site down to about five pages. Advances.C 9/10/99 3:16 AM How much does she want to spend? Rodona 9/10/99 3:17 AM She has another estimate for $800.00 - I told her you were really good :-) Advances.C 9/10/99 3:18 AM We'll pass on it....we're generally staying away from anything under $1500 to $2000....it's just not worth it to get involved otherwise. Rodona 9/10/99 3:19 AM I hear that. Totally understand. Advances.C 9/10/99 3:19 AM Thanks for the offer though....keep us in mind for larger projects. Rodona 9/10/99 3:21 AM I have entertained being a reseller for you but prices are steep and it's hard to get the little guys to spend that kind of money. Way more little folks than there are the biggie's. I know I could get the business that's for sure. I'm looking to build some residual income though and feel a relationship with a good hosting/design firm would be a great way to go. Advances.C 9/10/99 3:24 AM Try not to think of our prices as too expensive (our basic plan is $14.95/month isn't too high)......if anything, think of it as our hosting plans may not offer enough features compared to other companies......it's strange but pricing for hosting service is all over the board. Some of our clients think we have great and affordable pricing and excellent service, whereas some clients think we are too expensive and think our tech support sucks.... Rodona 9/10/99 3:26 AM I don't think your prices are high for hosting...comparitive - they aren't the lowest and they aren't the highest. Tech support has been great from my perspective. Design prices are high in my humble opinion :-)...got to have a happy medium for mass appeal. Advances.C 9/10/99 3:29 AM We'll be lowering prices on design work after we resolve a few of our staffing shortage problems and get some more programming done to help automate this whole process. Right now it is really taking alot of my time to properly build a rock-solid hosting infrastructure, so we're "shying away from" low end hosting development for the time being.....because there's not enough pie for me and one or more other people at my company to get involved. Rodona 9/10/99 3:32 AM I understand that. There can never be enough of you :-) - that's my problem as well!! Advances.C 9/10/99 3:32 AM You know! Rodona 9/11/99 7:26 AM Got the test. Advances.C 9/11/99 7:27 AM Thanks Advances.C 9/30/99 1:22 AM Test
