As another Jatol user whose site went down, I would strongly advise at least lining up a new host. Following the thread on webhostingtalk, http://www.webhostingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=632124 I suspect that things will get worse before they get better. If you have a new host lined up, then if/when (probbly when) your site goes down, you can make a quick switchover. Jatol registered their sites through OnlineNIC.com, who have been quite helpful in changing over DNS info (as long as you are the owner of the domain).
Good luck.

Until recently, Jatol did have more than one person running it, with very good customer service and support. But apparently they've had problems recently. Unfortunately they did not send emails to their customers saying "We have lost our employees and may go out of business soon". The question comes up, how do you know anything about your web host? Whether it's some kid operating out of his basement, or a well established stable business. It's really hard to know. Jatol had been in business for years, and was recommended by customers. DanK
