I was told that it was a feature that Paradise were going to offer and since it costs me $10 or $20mnth more than Xtra, I thought I should try to get one. So, you other guys who are also running webservers etc. are with Xtra? Or with other ISPs? I mean if yu are using xtra, as much as I don't want to join them, it bets paying $10-20 mnth for nothing to Paradise!
