I'm trying to do a Web site for some people who are locked into a "contract" with an overpriced Web hoster. The host offers practically nothing other than ftping your files up. They even charge $3./mo. to have email forwarding. Their server (MS/IIS?) also messes up the mime when sending a .css file. Mozilla doesn't respond to "text" when it is expecting "css", although IE doesn't panic, but I have to embed all css in the actual files, which is a pain for updating. They basically get business on the newbie myth that hosting has to be local. As if you might need to hand-carry something over to them some day...Okay, I hate them. Anyway, I'd like a seamless way to move the entire site to my other Web hosters and just redirect a page request from bad host to good host. (My freinds aren't cool with moving the domain name until the "contract" runs out.) I used to know about an html way to redirect, but can it be really fast so people don't notice so much? Or is there some other idea y'all know about? -- Olwë Melwasúl Wood-elf, Emissary to the Northern Ents -- This is the [email protected] list.
