My daughter finished the new web page and transferred service to a new
host. There was some confusion when it would display on this computer
with it's different dns than on the three others we tried and it took me
a while to realize she was talking about a dns problem.
She questioned the hosting company and they pointed out to her that the
numerical address should work, then I understood, should have tried that
myself but wasn't thinking clearly, if at all?
The result of her effort is at http://finepianoservices.com/index.html
should you be interested. It took nearly 48 hours to show up on the
other computers using the Wildblue dns.
