NTC (according to their whois record) is based in Miami Beach. My
sites are still not back up and all emails are being bounced with a
'domain not found' error.

I am in the process of writing a demand letter for refund of fees and
plan to follow it up with a small-claims action if not promptly
repaid.

Of course, I should have done my homework ahead of time--the web
hosting review sites I looked at last night gave NTC consistently low
marks becuase of their constant downtime and apparently they go in
and post fake reviews to try and boost their own rating (or so they
are accused of doing).

I signed up last night with a company called WebIntellects, that got
consistently high reviews on the web sites I looked at (second only
to another company called iPowerWeb, but W/I offers Miva scripting,
which IPW doesn't, and telnet access so I can actually get the SQL
stuff properly set up). I'm now paying double what I was paying for
NTC ($9.95/mo for "Linux Gold Plan" Hosting vs. $4.95/mo for NTC),
but you apparently get what you pay for.
