That would be as well as [nee] Webfusion, Magic Moments, Elite-Servers, and
the highly secretive... wait for it...: `christinaricci.co.uk' brand.... :)

Yeah, a friend asked me to look at one... *no ssh*(!);
Sorry to say, but it was a Magic Moments jobbie too -- and (more sob
stories), on a previous occasion, he'd lost access to his machine because
someone else had accidently spoofed the IP on another machine, seems they
don't do any IP:MAC correlation monitoring. Need I say `arpwatch'.? :=)

above domain with the one for `webfusion.co.uk'...
