My Hosting Is A Life Saver

Serioulsy I am so very lucky this happened, AFTER we switched servers, because honestly I don’t think my old host would of been able to help, but who knows. Last night I was working on switching over my Screenshot Exchange, and it was late, and I knew I was tired, but I still continued on. My boyfriend came up and asked me to come down already lol, so I said ‘Ok’ so in my haste, I thought, I will just delete the database and continue on tomorrow fresh and new.

I don’t know if I was blinded, dyslexic, or just really super tired, but I deleted the database to my collective. OH MY GOSH I went into freak out mode!

I immediately contacted my host, and they are so awesome, they had just backed my stuff up like 19 minutes prior to contacting them, and they were able to restore exactly what I had, OH MY GOSH they so rock!! BTW my hosting is WebHostingBuzz.com I was referred to them by a staff member of TheFanslisting.org, I am so happy that this was worked out. I would of been devastated if I had to start over again. I am so deeply indebted to them.

What’s more is I had just like a day or two prior, contacted my host about having some downtime, and I had told them everything was moved fine. Hah! Gosh I’m just really happy right about now. I also have finally got all my replies back from my fellow staff members so I am going to go out and write some Christmas cards tonight. And have them ready to be sent out on Monday. Yay!

Server Problems

Apparently there have been server interruptions more than once. This concerns me because visitors need to access some of my fanlistings quite possibly on a daily basis. So if the host is going to be down, this can create a problem for my website, and my fanlistings. To the extent I can lose them. So I am having a chat with a friend, and have decided on getting a reseller and sharing the costs. There are three hosting companies we are thinking of checking out, two of which I have seen around for years, the third I’ve never heard of, and I have been around the net for a very long time, so it must be fairly new, the cost is a few dollars less than the other two, but I may just want to go with reputation.

I’m really hoping that, when the change happens, that I will be able to have everything moved for me, and that everything will run as usual, without any problems. When I changed collective domains, I did a fresh install, and I really don’t want to have problems with it. I really hope this is not the case when moving *fingers crossed* So if there is downtime, that is the reason. I will have to let thefanlistings.org know, so they are aware of the downtime, which hopefully won’t be long, *hopes*.

Lastly I just had a birthday, Happy Birthday to me, it was yesterday, and I had an amazing day. Oh yeah I’m also doing a Greeting card exchange, if anyone is interested, use the contact form, and I will get back to you right away. I’m also doing it on tfl.org, it’s my first time, so it’s pretty exciting, yay! Okay, have a good week all.
