It looks good, but I found a problem on their site even before signing up. I emailed the technical support team at 10AM [15jan07] clearly outlining the issue. No reply after 26 hours and the problem still exists. I then mmailed their sales department [forwarding the message from the previous day] at Noon - no reply after 20 hours and the problem still exists. Check it out. You will be able to search for and register a new domain name here http://www.monsterhosting.ca/ because it is available, but when you go here http://monsterdomains.ca/ to do the same thing, it says that the same domain name is *not* available and you can only transfer the name [which no one else owns] to their service. I think this is a major issue. Even if it is not, the fact that my email received no reply [and the problem still exists] concerns me as to their overall commitment to customer support. A Google search of "reviews monsterhosting.ca" reveals/confirms some of my concerns. Choose wisely, Mr. Al Hi there,

Just for information, she was Mrs. Martini in the film "It's a Wonderful Life". Her 68 year old son has continued her blog since then....might want to take a look.
