Steve or someone is always around just do not always reply.  Depends on what you  are requsting.  How often do you need support?  In the 16 months I have used Astraweb, have contacted support twice--nothing serious then.  If Astraweb servers are having problems the techs there. If a fast answer is your top goal, then maybe you need to go with someone else. ]]></description>
