<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>Reply by Tony Mokonen, Thursday, July 21, 2011, 17:39:</em></p><p><p>110mb.com is turning out to be quite the unreliable host.  They constantly have problems with their &quot;box 9&quot; server, and their support is next to non-existent.  They seem to only care about their &quot;premium&quot; 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.</p>
<p>If anyone has a recommendation for free, no advertisement hosting, please let me know.</p>
