You're welcome! I owe a lot to the undying support and tireless assistance of my comods and volunteers as well. I'm truly lucky to have such a wonderful group of people always right there to help me out! :)
On hacking ... HASA went offline for about a week as well because of a hacker, shortly after the SoA incident (but not related). Before that, I had been tinkering with the notion of learning more PHP/MySQL to write my own little programs ... well, after that, I gave up that idea. I don't know about SoA, but Anglachel who runs HASA is a professional programmer, and if she let a security hole slip past, I can imagine what some half-assed web developer like me could bring down on our heads! ;)
That's a shame about your dad's experience. I absolutely cannot complain about Bluehost (SWG's host) in terms of customer service. They're great at keeping me up to date on what I need to do and when and always quick to solve problems. I know that's not true of a lot of hosts out there. :^/
