I had debated whether to make it totally anonymous which I felt would get more honest answers, or, asking for some way to identify people to see whether their answers fit my assumptions. I went with anonymous because I figured some people might hold back from giving me their opinions which would invalidate some of the results if people told me what they thought I wanted to hear.

I told him this question should have included previous hosts as well and signed it "Have you ever lost data due to a hardware or software issue at your current host?"

You're correct. That just occurred to me when I took the survey myself. I have lost data on two former hosts, but not (yet) on either of my current hosts. I think I answered that question with 'no', but in truth, I've definitely lost data in the distant past. Once due to a virtual server being thoroughly hacked, and once when my dedicated box decided to become a paperweight.

Better wording would be "Have you ever lost data due to a hardware or software issue at your current or past host?"

Same thing here - I think I clicked it because I've had 2 HD failures in the past on 2 separate hosts.

Once again I apologize to everyone I ever referred to AllWebSites

Had it been that way my answer would have been yes which is why they are a past host!
