You guys must be doing something wrong. The web site
listed , http://www.familydiscovery.com, *IS* a valid
genealogy based site. The computer that hosts it is located
in Reston VA with a dotted quad address of 63.160.181.66
and according a Visual Route trace, is hosted on the Sprint
network.
It loaded it up just fine using Netscape. I took a quick look
around it and the 25% part is stated on their main page. It
does appear to be a 'pay to use' site though.
