When I read the original post, my natural instinct was *frames*, having
never visited the site in question. This is one of the many pitfalls of
using frames. If the choice of frames for navigation was not yours and is
not controlled by yourself, then I too suggest that you alter hosting
plan. At present, this gives your host estate, ranks and very much control
over your site. It's not one of the common issues with frames per se.
Hope it helps,
Roy
