Shaun, I've been thinking about that line, since our discussion and I think what she meant was that Telstra provides servers as well, and we should be using local instead of Amazon.

Otherwise it makes no sense, Telstra can't just decide to put a global block on any website willy-nilly, unless the client asks for it.

I also contacted Amazon to ask how a physical setup in Sydney registers as located in the US, something doesn't jell here.
But as you know they are not very forthcoming with help for small fry like us.

I'm investigating a new service that was recommended by a reputable IT magazine, let you know in the usual way, how I go .
