Not a weird question, but you definitely need to clean up your networking and webspace practices.

So you're using SBC email/webspace (ISP-based) for home and business accounts? Bad idea. Use the ISP to get to the web, and use 3rd parties for everything else on the web.

That said, go check out a site like bluehost. Buy a domain or move your current one to their services. Create new or copy your old business website to it via FTP. Usually with any business package, they offer email service at no extra charge. Now you have webspace at your_business.com and email @ your_business.com. On top of that it doesn't matter who you use for an ISP, because it's still the same web

. No more locked-in services and you don't have to worry about backups either, because the host does it for you. It's cheap too, maybe 10 dollars a month for web space.
