Running Web server on ATT BroadBand

[linuxluva at yahoo.com (linux lover)]

So when they shut down the web server, what is the
correct action to take?
   possible answers:  
       nothing and wait from them to turn it back on!
       call them?
       go to another provider?  (who?  help me)
       etc.   

Help.
