| Never trust ISP email. Those who rely on ISP mail for their business.... are in my humble opinion stupid. Do you really want to tie yourself to an ISP that has the sole right to your email name, can change the domain whenever it wants to, (when taken over by another company for intance), and you have only ONE option when it comes to support....
Get your own domain. Host it somewhere for $5 a month. Be free from your ISP, and not only that..... if your hosting provider should mess things up, you can simply move the domain to another hoster. On top of that, you can move or change ISP whenever you want to.
And the "losing $30.000" cry is big fat BS. First, a business that deals in $30k contracts makes backups. Second, if you are really dealing with business in the $30k, you would have registered a domain last tuesday when their email had been down for well over 24 hours, you would - after the DNS refresh worldwide - have configured it on wednesday, and send out your new email address to every contact you have on thursday to use as the new email address.
Sorry, but I just don't buy that someone that deals in $30k of business in a given week, is relying on ISP email only. And even IF you had your domain hosted with Mediacom, and it so happens that the domain email goes through the same bugged servers: YOU and ONLY YOU are the owner of the domain, and you can take your wallet to ANY other provider.
There is just no reason to wait A WEEK in hopes the information for a $30k account comes down the pipe..... Backups, backups, backups.... and ALWAYS have a backup plan.
