Well, welcome to x10 and understand that is isn't exactly an example of what you can expect _all_ of the time.
I've noticed that there are semi-frequent maintenance and upgrade windows, but since x10 is one of the more feature-rich free web hosts out there (and I've tried a ton), I'm willing to forgo a few weekends here and there. Plus, these are often *upgrades*, which indicates to me that there is an continual interest in improving the service and its capabilities.
And... the price is right.
(By the way... I'm still having cPanel issues, but my site itself just came back up.)
Let's hope Cossacks makes it up fully by Monday.
