Steve, Have you made any progress in getting your site back up? I manage a DNN installation for my astronomy club. We host it on Lunarpages using a shared Windows hosting plan. The performance has been reasonable and the price is one of the best I've seen. Their support has also been excellent. I *highly* recommend installing and running Evotiva's DNN Backup. I've been running it for over a year now. We backup to the Amazon S3 Cloud and it costs us less than $1 a month. DNN Backup includes a restore tool. I just went through a complete upgrade of our site by cloning it using DNN Backup, testing all the upgrades (and finding several problems), then doing the upgrade again on the production site. DNN Backup's restore process is incredibly easy to use and it even takes care of modifying the clone for you if you want to do this). William http://www.pastro.org

Hi William

Thanks for the post and recommendation. We decided to sign up with DNN4Less, due to a number of factors and recommendations from the DNN comunity.

So far so good. I find the new control panel a little intimidating and the guides and documentation don't really explain much, but I'll get there in the end. We choose DNN4Less after offers of help before we were customers and the fact that they have telephone support (including UK phone number, as we are in Jersey, UK).

I've been busy re-establishing email as our last host (reinvent.com) after not helping us restore the database, didn't like me complaining about their lack of support and understanding, and decided to not only switched our site off, but disconncted our email, kept our money and database.

As you can image its been a very fraught time. But things are getting back to normal. I'm currently backing up the vanilla site. I hope to start rebuilding our club pages soon and learning all the new features in DNN5.6.

I think in future I'll pay to upgrade DNN rather than doing it myself :-)
