Temporarily, while the hosting/forwarding company were bust or malfunctioning, then I presume yes, you would lose access to data such as incoming emails, which you could probably never retrieve; however, you _would_ retain the domain, and could eventually instruct some other company to handle it for you. You'd lose incoming emails in the meantime; if you really want belt and braces, register two domains (such as .com and .co.<country>), and have them hosted by different companies. Of course, make sure that when you register the domains - even if you have the handling company look after the registration for you - that they're registered in _your_ name, not that of the handling company. Good handling companies will do this, though it may not be their default. During any such hiatus you'd also lose control of any website they host for you too, and information from it (such as form input) - but, again, you should be able to transfer that to another provider. (Good ones should be knowledgeable about helping with such a transfer from rogue/dead ones.) Of course, you should always keep a local copy of your website anyway. (This all in theory: I have no experience of a bad/fasiled hoster! I did change hoster - from tsoHost to Krystal - but that was only because the former switched to online assistance only, closing telephone support; they were otherwise fine. [And in practice I _think_ all my communication with Krystal has been online/emails anyway; I just didn't want to lose the _option_ of telephone contact.]) -- J. P. Gilliver.

The cost of the wasted minutes moving the laptop versus the cost of a new one....and its storage space... -- “It is hard to imagine a more stupid decision or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.” Thomas Sowell

It used 6% of the battery in 20 minutes. Previously I had to copy the TV serial I was watching. I don't have a fast WiFi AP so it took some time. -- Cheers, Carlos.
