Yeah, I have no complaints with them!

I have started this process! Thanks for this pointer.
I  stumbled across gc a while back but just made a
(sketchy) mental note. Good job you could put a name
forward...

Sorry, I should have clarified that. I mean that DSVR
will only give me 48 hours to find a new DNS provider
for them to update their records with. The site does
not have to be "resolvable" within 48 hours. Still,
I'd rather have 48 days! :-)

I'll post how I get on with gc.

Thanks,

Ben
