i don't want to jump on the 365 bandwagon, but they're my host. the support levels ive been getting from 365 lately have been outrageous. first of all, ive heard theyve laid off a whole bunch of staff in Dublin which is enough to send alarm bells ringing.

sometimes I use the excuse of "buying local" in order to justify paying slightly inflated prices compared to us hosts, but if they're just exporting their technical staff to eastern european countries, why would I bother now?

anyone (not the hosts themselves - you guys just seem to jump on everything here) have any opinions on this? how do you feel about buying local if you're talking to people with poor command of english and who are not actually "local" anymore?
