You're account is generating almost 15 GB of data transfer per month. 
This will run you several hundred dollars this month if you decide to
stay with Internet Communications.  I recomend that you find an Internet
Service provider who offers unlimited bandwidth, unless you want to
incur these charges.  I must hear from you withon the next few days, or
you're account will be frozen.  Thank you for you're cooperation.

Best Reguards,
Internet Communications Sales

One of my readers made an offer which I would like to offer to you.

Because my account was shut down so quickly, a lot of my readers have no idea what's
going on.

If one of my readers sends you a check for $39.90, can I reopen a 10 meg site at
host1 thru the end of September.

I would only run html pages containing links and status reports as to where we've
gone.  There might be some imbedded gif files, logos, etc., but now downloadable
files.

The bandwidth load should be very low (once someone has found the link to where they
should be looking, it's unlikely they'll come back to the old ~caster site), and
I doubt I'll use even 50K of web space.  I agree with you that host1 and I no longer
work well together.  But all of the links and search engines still point to host1,
and some forwarding messages would help a lot.

Please let me know if this is a workable temporary arrangement.  I am arranging to
buy other web space.  I owe my readers the service of letting them know where we
went.

Also, did you delete all of the files on your hard drive.  I am very interested in
the statistics files stored in several /counters directories.

Please let me know what you decide.

Thank you,
Bob

I have heard absolutely nothing from them. But it doesn't matter anymore. Even if they invited us back to host1, we're not going back. The world of casting is too important to rely upon amateurs like Host1.
