good webhosty people

Ok, that was a much less traumatic experience than I was expecting it to be. I noticed a month or so ago that I couldn’t tell if my webhosting people were charging me, and I kept forgetting to contact them about it. They noticed it yesterday, and contacted me. It turns out that they haven’t, in fact, charged me since the end of October, God alone knows why, and they’re doing stuff with their billing system now and so they’d noticed it.
