Yeah well I am still the IT guy here for 2 more days... so either I fix it (or at least do something about it) or put up with the winging.

going to be hosted internally
Was that decision made after the ISP went belly up?

I am in that situation right now. I've made some advises and so far deaf ears only.

Don't you just hate upper management who think that, because they can run some aspects of the business, they know everything about everything? They kind of remind me of teenagers... Teenagers know everything about everything, then as they get older, know nothing.

That is precisely what I deal with. I do have one client who wants to mirror two databases, no big deal, but they want to do it in MS Access. I've explained over and over that SQL 2008 will do the trick once it is released.

So our companies website was hosted with a local ISP in town. A couple of weeks ago they stopped taking new customers and stopped selling any hardware. Today our website went down. When I tried to contact them, their email and their website are down, phones are disconnected and all the ftp and ip's are not responding. I rang another company who do a lot of work with this ISP and they said that the ISP is closed down without the view to re-open. So now we lost our website and have to make another one. :mad:

Stupid / negligent / an idiot / all of the above? The reason we didn't bail is that we took their word that it was only temporary. My company has used this company for over 7 years, so when they assured us it was only a temp thing and wouldn't effect anything, why shouldn't we believe them?

Q: Are you closing up shop? Thought: If we answer yes, we loose companies, money, and make the last few months miserable and we might as well close doors now and walk away... but if we answer no, we may be lying, but we will squeeze a few more months of profit out of the business, close the doors and walk away and they will never know we lied.... A: No, of course not.
