Second the question about how to update the hosted web pages. I'm sure there is a solution (I suspect it's ftp), but I'll have to find it and learn it. While we are at it: I also occasionally look at my web server logs. Again, I'm sure they'll continue to exist somewhere, but I don't even know where to look. No need to post detailed instructions just for me, I'll find them.
I also agree with sjs: One of the wonderful things about Sonic is that it is so much more than just a "bandwidth provider", someone who sets up a wire, and otherwise doesn't care about the bits. It is also a domain registrar (matter-of-fact, it is the designated registrar for the domain we use, which is in the locality namespace of the US domain). It is a mail service provider, and as far as I can see, the best of the small ones. It is a hosting provider for web pages, although that functionality is declining. It does a lot of other things, some of which I may not use, others I use and have forgotten about. But most importantly, in all these things, it has always been the most reliable and trustworthy provider (with occasional technical and customer service glitches, and yes, I've yelled at Dane, a few times over the phone, but things always get fixed quickly). Having a shell server as a central "spider in the middle of the web" for self-administering has always been part of that "complete end-to-end ISP solution". And as Sonic loses that completeness, it stops being distinguishable from other "just bandwidth providers".
