Thanks for the tip on the 1and1.com. I've been burned before on deals before. I find that in most cases if the deal is to good to be true, it is. I was taken about 8 months ago by a company that had the "deal of all deals" and so many people signed up for the deal they could not handle the growth and crashed hard, and I had a years worth of service paid (only used 2 months). I've found a pretty good company that has a bit slower growth plan and thus can handle it's users in the support area. The issue we had yesterday was more about having an issue over a holiday and thus I only had email support. The support was great, just a bit slow over email. If I had the same issue today, I would have phone support and had the issue cleaned up before anyone even saw the problem. In saying all that... it's ALWAYS good to have options and thus I thank you for the tip on the 1and1.com hosting company.

On the PayPal issue... At one point I had a link up to the ADA since I did the Tour de cure last year and I didn't get any takers... thus I thought something like paypal would net the same response. I don't want to look to greedy to be honest, I'm just glad people like using the site! Keep an eye in the forums perhaps.

The offer ends Jan 24 and I'm not sure how solid they are (I;ve heard extremely good and pretty bad) but if nothing else, it might be some free hosting space in a pinch.

Also, I'd like to see some kind of voluntary link to PayPal (if you're not against it) so people could help you out with "bike upgrades" in exchange for such a wonderful site.
