I don't know Jack. I get customers all the time who say that they are just looking for a place that will handle their domain registrations, and they will take care of where they host everything else. They want one registration provider, who they can stay with and trust, even if they move hosting providers for whatever reason. So I think there is merit in a standalone registration provider, but agree that more and more hosting companies are seeing domain management as a part of their function. I think their is a need for both right now, but it will be interesting to see if that is true in another couple years. -- Best regards, William X Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- OpenSRS installation and customizations Payment Processing Integration Apache Installation and Support Services http://www.wxsoft.com/
