What we offer is a service not a product, so it cannot function without our support structure.

If you're interested in a more technical answer, then read on...

Because the websites are dynamic and are intimately linked with the set-up of our multiple databases and specific server configurations, as well as the extensive network of behind-the-scenes software that we run for the websites and Control Panels --- it's not technically possible for them to function with any other host.

Nor is there a way to "download" them or burn them to CD. They are not like 'normal' websites that consist of HTML files and graphics that could be replicated and run from any host. Basically your site exists on our servers as a very complex equation, which interfaces with our software, generates your site on-the-fly upon each instance of viewing. Phew. Now I need a drink.
