Hosting Woes
Hosting can be a headache. I am not talking about my blog. I have this puppy on a very reliable host and in as much as I have been able to determine, there has not been any significant downtime. My static sites, on the other hand, are hosted for free on my ex-husband’s cousin’s business servers. I don’t want to go rocking any boats, because free is free and technically I am not even family anymore. But, the sites have all been down since late Friday night. I thought for sure it was a business issue that resolve this morning, but so far they are all still down. I sent in a support ticket. Now comes the wait.
I’ve lost a good bit of advertising revenue for these static sites. And, I can only imagine the e-mail that is waiting for me. I am going to give this a day or so, but I have all the gears ready to roll to switch everything over to my paid hosting account. It is probably the wise thing overall, but I have been nervous about making the switch. Otherwise I suppose I would have done all of this a long time ago.
My server is located in my bedroom. Hubby turned an old computer we had to a server just for my site. So if my site goes down, I can chew out tech support face to face:)
That rocks! When I was married we used to run a server for forums for my sites. It was cool to have tech support right there in the same bed.
I never had problems with my hosting company.Great support, sometimes my site is slow but never had big issues. I will renew my hosting plan next year with them
And I pay also reasonable prices.
