Thanks Jordan/Peter,

I think I will send a letter and see what the response is. Also, I just did a check in the Whois database and Hostxl.net still shows up with details etc, maybe there's been a wrong connection or whois has been down briefly or whatever. Anyways! I'm still looking for a good hosting company and would like good references. My daughter has already lost some of her pocket-money to hostxl, don't want her to lose any more - she wants something that's reliable and gives her all the options she would have got with hostxl. I know it may cost more for something reliable but that's a lesson I've learned. Hope someone can give me some good pointers.

Thanks for all your help/advice.

Phil
