when i say holidays, i mean thats it, no checking your sites or emails?

can you go a week or two or even longer and not be tempted?

google 'website monitoring service' for starters.

obviously that implies you make more than these services cost.

call me old fashioned but these are still web based.

thing is, if my sites go down the chaps at the host are there fixing the problem. so i hardly need to bother.

worst case and the server dies then i have a backup hardrive or somthing (well thats what they told me), which backs itself up every few hours or somthing.

oldfashioned isn't really the word that comes to mind.

I keep an eye on emails & traffic when away - but I've not had a holiday for 4years, maybe next year thinking about trying skiing
