I've wasted so many people's time trying to educate the tech guy at my
host's i.s.p. At least my site has been fine-tuned over and over again to
eliminate possible errors.
Enough already. I talked to another local hosting company whose rates are
competitive. They use Apache! I hope they know what they're doing. I'd hate
to go through this again. Either way, I won't trouble you folks again for
this problem if I determine it's my host's server that's screwing up.
Perhaps once I transfer, if somebody could help me check things, just once,
to see if it's set up properly. If not, I'll switch hosts again rather than
try to educate a tech.
Thanks, Chris Watson a.k.a. "The Bicycling Guitarist"

Nice thing about Apache - there's a lot you can do in .htaccess that other
servers might not allow you to do yourself. I personally think it's the
best server to be hosted on.

Well yes, but the use of .htaccess has to be enabled first. Some ISPs
enable it, some don't; I rather suspect the latter are in the majority.

I've never done a survey, but I'd think the opposite is true. If you
enable .htaccess, you transfer quite a lot of problems from tech support
to the user. I imagine that'd be a pretty strong incentive.

That's something I hope the OP checks out before transferring to the
new host. I personally would not contract with a host that didn't
let me use .htaccess.
