I left for camp up north in Utterson the day after school ended (I think it was June 22) and I got home July 18. Now, I go on my web page, http://www.megabenman.com and find I'm surronded by ads, which before camp, I was ad free! I also recieved an email from my host saying that megabenman@hotmail.com (my e-mail) "is not a valid e-mail adress and due to this we cannot recieve you yearly payment. Please call us at this number:........ and tell us your real e-mail. Thankyou"
My email adress is completely valid, and I've even used it several hundered times after camp. Should I call the company? (Domain Registry of Canada)

Maybe it's because the @hotmail.com, that's what they mean by valid or non-valid email. Like anybody who wanted your FTP info and domain info could just sign up with your site's name and @hotmail.com, so i think they didnt accept it for the security reasons. anyways I couldnt go to your site cos when i opened it, it totally froze on me and I had to close the whole mozzila.exe program ugh
well only one ad came up as well as the banner at the top, are you hosted by angelfire this is where the adds seem to be coming from in your source i found this

I can't delete that code though.
are you on the angelfire free package, because if you are, they have the right to put ads on your site, if you are paying for the hosting then contact them telling them they've added ads to your site, personally if you have your own domain try swapping to another host, there are loads that are better

I do have my own domain, but the ads were never there before!
Edit:
Also, when you go to the page, it always pops up with a sidebar saying "Sorry, an internal error has occured." This also never happened before.
the sidebar is from angelfire, just contact them with your problem, and if you were on a free package and weren't getting ads chances are they noticed you weren't getting ads and added them. If you're paying for your package like i said, the only way to fix it is to contact them asking for an explanation
