[epub] hosting services??

(These aren't strictly ezine/newsletter questions-- more of a plea for 
help/advice from other ezine publishers who may be in the same boat as 
me)  (I had to subscribe to this list with a second address because my 
main address is down and probably bouncing)

Hi there... I know that most of you with newsletters and ezines use a 
virtual hosting service to create a companion Web site for your zine.

I use CI Host (www.cihost.com) after disappointments with other 
services.

My hosting service (not just my own server but the main hosting service 
website) has been down 24 hours, and I just got a bizarre note from a 
competitor indicating my hosting service is down and soliciting my 
business switching over to their service.  Makes it sound like the whole 
world knows the host is down, making it sound like it's not coming back 
up.

My question(s)  to this group --  how long should one wait on a downed 
server before bailing out (my current host is rated #3 at the C-Net 
webhosting list of hosts, so they aren't known for flakiness) and 
looking for another service?

Would it be worth it to bail at this point (2 days before Y2K... hehehe) 
and try to establish service elsewhere?

Is anyone else hosting at CIhost.com, and what does anyone know about 
the problem or cause?
