are you still having this problem? your site is showing up fine on my side

SPAM WILL NOT BE TOLERATED TotalChoice acceptable use policy spam is defined as: An electronic message is "spam" IF: (1) the recipient's personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; AND (2) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; AND (3) the transmission and reception of the message appears to the recipient to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender. What is spam? Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam costs the sender very little to send -- most of the costs are paid for by the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender. There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20 or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not relevant to most or all of them.) Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers", people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their systems. Email spam targets individual users with direct mail messages. Email spam lists are often created by scanning Usenet postings, stealing Internet mailing lists, or searching the Web for addresses. Email spams typically cost users money out-of-pocket to receive. Many people - anyone with measured phone service - read or receive their mail while the meter is running, so to speak. Spam costs them additional money. On top of that, it costs money for ISPs and online services to transmit spam, and these costs are transmitted directly to subscribers. One particularly nasty variant of email spam is sending spam to mailing lists (public or private email discussion forums.) Because many mailing lists limit activity to their subscribers, spammers will use automated tools to subscribe to as many mailing lists as possible, so that they can grab the lists of addresses, or use the mailing list as a direct target for their attacks. 1. offense - spam sent by your domain- account terminated 2. offense - spam advertized web site - account suspended 3. offense 2nd time - spam advertized web site - account terminated again If your service is terminated because of AUP violation(s), TotalChoice reserves the right to charge a one-time $125 termination fee!

<-- I agree...pay <--someone <- but who ::HINT:: lol -=op

lianna you rock -=o)

hi, If you will please submit a help desk ticket to us, www.totalchoicehosting.com/support , be sure to include your cpanel username/password in your helpdesk ticket and we'll fix ya right up. -=o)

My favorite.... evrsoft firstpage www.evrsoft.com, it has 4 levels from beginner to expert. HIGHLY SUGGESTED and i use cuteftp pro

You are right on many levels. You can also add ppc on google and altavista and they will put your site in a box on the right side. and everytime a person clicks through it deducts x amount of cents.

ecorse, 1.) Your email is of course routed through a mail server. That mail server, unless on a dedicated server, is shared with other sites. If you just put the username 'tim' then everyone with the email 'tim@thierdomain.com' would get your email. That is why you attach the domain on the end of it. 2.)The reason 'ecorse' is used on mysql is basically the same concept as the email. It would be a giant mess if it wasn't used.

if the script was just installed, or your site hasn't been operational long your stats will not show up yet. If you still have problems in a day or so drop a help desk ticket, and it'll get looked at.

if you look at the totalchoice news forum we posted an article about this http://forums.totalchoicehosting.com/index...t=ST&f=12&t=543

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Traffic on the many parts of the Internet slowed dramatically for hours early Saturday, the apparent effects of a fast-spreading, virus-like infection that overwhelmed the world's digital pipelines and interfered with Web browsing and delivery of e-mail. Sites monitoring the health of the Internet reported significant slowdowns globally. Experts said the electronic attack bore remarkable similarities to the "Code Red" virus during the summer of 2001 which also ground traffic to a halt on much of the Internet. "It's not debilitating," said Howard Schmidt, President Bush's No. 2 cyber-security adviser. "Everybody seems to be getting it under control." Schmidt said the FBI's National Infrastructure Protection Center and private experts at the CERT Coordination Center were monitoring the attacks. The virus-like attack, which began about 12:30 a.m. EST, sought out vulnerable computers on the Internet to infect using a known flaw in popular database software from Microsoft Corp., called "SQL Server 2000." But the attacking software code was scanning for victim computers so randomly and so aggressively -- sending out thousands of probes each second -- that it overwhelmed many Internet data pipelines. "This is like Code Red all over again," said Marc Maiffret, an executive with eEye Digital Security, whose engineers were among the earliest to study samples of the attack software. "The sheer number of attacks is eating up so much bandwidth that normal operations can't take place." "The impact of this worm was huge," agreed Ben Koshy of W3 International Media Ltd., which operates thousands of Web sites from its computers in Vancouver. "It's a very significant attack." Koshy added that, about six hours after the attack, commercial Web sites that had been overwhelmed were starting to come back online as engineers began effectively blocking the malicious data traffic. "People are recovering from it," Koshy said. Symantec Corp., an antivirus vendor, estimated that at least 22,000 systems were affected worldwide. "Traffic itself seems to have leveled off a little bit, so likely only so many systems are exposed out there," said Oliver Friedrichs, senior manager with Symantec Security Response. The attacking software, technically known as a worm, was overwhelming Internet traffic-directing devices known as routers. "The Internet is still usable, but we're definitely receiving reports from some of our customers who have had it affect their routers specifically," Friedrichs said. The attack sought to take advantage of a software flaw discovered by researchers in July 2002 that permits hackers to seize control of corporate database servers. Microsoft deemed the problem "critical" and offered a free repairing patch, but it was impossible to know how many computer administrators applied the fix. "People need to do a better job about fixing vulnerabilities," Schmidt said. The latest attack was likely to revive debate within the technology industry about the need for an Internet-wide monitoring center, which the Bush administration has proposed. Some Internet industry executives and lawyers said they would raise serious civil liberties concerns if the U.S. government, not an industry consortium, operated such a powerful monitoring center.

Thanks, It's going to be good being part of this team. You all seem like you got your stuff together.

i used a merchant recently, they have good customer support and free setup, not the 700 dollar setup fee's. pswbilling.com i think it was.

when dealing with alot of coding... you just have to 'hang in there' so don't fight it, if it stumps you enough just walk away for a couple hours. That will help -=o), if that doesn't work..pick your computer up and hurl it onto the front lawn

if you open up the coding where the buttons are it should have value = "true" beside the radiobutton, just change that one from 'true' to 'false' and change the one you want to select by default to value= 'true' , if you need more clarification let me know

if they keep getting smaller, they will eventually disappear -=o)
