Site back online

Experienced a bit of a hiccup there when my web host emailed me on Saturday and told me my site had crashed twice, so. they. deleted. it.

Yep. They deleted my site. Isn’t that great?

I’ve been with these guys for five years - referred them countless clients and I wake up one day to find they have absolutely no respect for me as a customer.

Regardless, I had a backup of my database and most of my image files. But it will be a while before everything is restored - if ever. I’ve lost the last month’s worth of posts and I may have lost two years worth of images.

Anyway, it starts to bug me and then I realize there are real problems in the world and I think, ‘who cares, it’s a blog.’

So it is, so let’s keep blogging…

What?? This is making me queasy, as I’m using the same host. There have been a few hiccups in the past and some grumbly tech support but mostly they’ve been okay. I’m doing a full backup as I type this…

I used them as my first ever web-host and during that 6 months I had NOTHING but problems - talk about a flash from the past.

I left them and now I rent my own servers at a server farm…still the odd hiccup of course but the way they handle those hiccups is miles ahead of those “other guys” by far.
