Thanks vapser - Maybe we had the same (ex) host - lol
Hi Paul - it all went ok in the end.
Funny - the newletter turned up just after the problem was fixed
I can access my nameserver anyway, the problem which caused the short downtime was an 'unusual error with the dns processing' at the new host!
(Off to a flying start - lol)...
It was fixed after a few hours & everything is looking good
Now that's out of the way I can turn the icq back on & see if we can get that ad rotator working again
