Thanks for the info.
They have the domain and are using it with the current ISP.
Surely just signing up with another ISP is just the same as staying with the
current one but with lower cost.
How does one have an independent service? Where can I get comprehensive info
on this or even running without an ISP.
How do I server a CMS web site from another ISP while using the current one
that they will not change from?
Thanks for help

I'm coming in on this late, so I may not be directly responsive. However, I can tell you what I do to set up an independent web/mail/name service. I used to use my ISP's acct from home, and paid an extra $15 or so a month for a static ip address. Since this was a personal thing and low in volume, it tended to work OK, though when I had friends uploading or downloading files, it would slow to a halt -- it was DSL. My biggest problem, however, was that it went down on occasion -- when there was a big storm, there was a power outage at home, etc.
So... I went out and got a virtual machine. It's been great. I use cotse.net, which rents me 5 static ip addresses, 150G hard drive, reasonable cpu, and unmetered bandwidth for $30/month. I am sure that there are other places that are good. The one thing about cotse is that their support does not do much handholding -- they'll provision a machine, reboot it if you turn it off, etc., but that's about it. I run CentOS on that box.
