110mb.com is turning out to be quite the unreliable host. They constantly have problems with their "box 9" server, and their support is next to non-existent. They seem to only care about their "premium" customers, leaving everyone else with near weekly outages of multiple hours at a time. In the past it was a good host that I recommended to others, but no more.

If anyone has a recommendation for free, no advertisement hosting, please let me know.

Hi Tony,
