My host has me over a barrel.  I've placed myself in a pickle. How to handle?
durana: I'd ask them to clarify what they mean by a crash.  Is it a system crash or is it Apache going out to lunch or is it something else?  A "crash" can mean so many different things because it is somewhat vague.  I've seen plenty of cases where if you press someone for a root cause of a "crash", they can't give it to you because they don't really know what went wrong.  You've got to understand the problem before you can solve it or be sure what they are recommending makes sense.  If you want some more input, feel free to e-mail me.
