I am on a new web host!

My old host lost two months of my posts back to 9/22/2008. Luckily I had back-ups. I am on Bluehost now. Note if your host is miserable don’t blog about it, because they don’t seem to want to help you out so much, if they accidentally mess up your web sight, and as luck would have it, the very post you wrote to flame their horrible service ends up being the first thing the tech support people see when they troubleshoot your website, even though it was two months old. Talk about making things a little awkward.

Whoops!

AnHosting/Midphase is a great hosting company, and they did do their best to help me out. I think if they had kept better notes on their service tickets, I would probably still be with them. Granted I started with their service in July-08, and suspiciously after after 60 days, I started having problems, eventually, after about 18 days, someone senior at support stepped in on September 22nd, and made everything good again. Perfect actually (thanks whoever that was). That all changed on November 12th, 2008, when they decided to migrate my website to a new better server… And royally screwed me. 48 hours later I moved to a new host. I suggest if your web host gives you advanced notice that they are moving you to a new server, that you make back-ups of your database and you website to your home computer a day before they move you so you don’t have to suffer as I did this last week. Remember, it is your data after all… Thanks Jeffery U. for reminding me of that very important point.
