Thanks all.

To clarify, the LlamaServer itself is a different machine to the web server (which is provided by hostgator.com). That is why there is a delay in communication between the website and things actually happening (e.g. when you postpone hosting nothing actually happens until the next time the LlamaServer contacts the web server).

However, "ssh llamaserver" worked! Hooray! I would never have tried that, I just assumed the solution had to be more complicated.

I guess in principle the next step would be to set up the router to allow access from outside, but in fact we are not allowed to use ssh at work(!!), so there's little point.

Immaculate: That squash recipe sounds interesting! One question - how do you peel the bugger? That took me ages.
