I can't believe that it's been over a month since I've been looking for a new web host and I've already tried two and I had to leave them both! The latest is Digital Zones, which doesn't show the nbsp;'s in my HTML when I read it from the file manager (they execute when displaying the page and they show up when I VIEW SOURCE, but not during editing, unless it takes a LONG time to be processed).

What is an acceptable amount of time to have to wait for changes in HTML to show up?

PS: Would the webmaster of Webhostingtalk please add an icon of a screaming, crying man with a machine gun shooting at his computer with his wrists slashed?

for me if the page doesn't update immediately after uploading and clicking "refresh" i won't be happy. Of course I'm paying, not sure if the host you're describing is free or not.

personally i've switched ISPs because the one started using a set of caching servers (poorly i might add) that wouldn't refresh the content even if doing a ctrl-refresh unless you waited 15 minutes.

(Best I can do) :D

i think you did a pretty good job there chicken :D I must say that the little smiley face that revolves is a bit disturbing, like it's posessed or something!

I once hosted a web site on Digital Zones for roughly a year. I've always been extremely happy with them, and as far as I know, they had 100 percent uptime during that year (I had my site monitored).

The only reason I moved is because I now have my own dedicated server at Rackshack. Also, when I moved, I had trouble with a DNS server, and they offered to continue hosting the DNS for one of my domains EVEN THOUGH I was moving away from them.

Great company IMHO. Don't know about support though, as I never needed it.

I use alot of &nbsp's of various sizes as vertical spacers and I hate when they show up as regular spaces in the code, but I decided to stay with Digital Zones because it's too hard to find a host that meets all my requirements. So, I guess the appropriate icon is now
