The history is that Alabanza used to be a Virtual Hosting service as well as dedicated. Well, they sold off their virtual hosting clients to "yourwebhost.com", which is owned by the same person and, they simply provide dedicated services now. Many of the Hosting companies that I have found to have great plans were all Alabanza-hosted companies. I knew a good friend of mine who worked for one of them. He said the servers they had from them were the most insecure on the Internet. When they would lock it down, Alabanza would open the hole again and tell them to stop messing with the server. One day they changed their root passwords and locked down the server tight (security-wise) They were given a cease and desist order. I have heard, however, that they have gotten a little more security conscience since then. -- Thomas Deliduka IT Manager ------------------------- New Eve Media The Solution To Your Internet Angst http://www.neweve.com/
