Hi Flying Pig -
Although this is the best site and forum on the net, our admin (Mark) has been dealing with his business while also trying to take care of a close family member and dealing with all that entails.
I understand wanting to get a project up and running and it's frustrating when you must wait for service due to unexpected personal challenges for our leader.
The wait is worth it - I've never had a down day for my site with this hosting. No problems at all. You will get set up and I'm sure you'll be very happy. If I can help in any way in the meantime, please let me know,
Magicman
