Here is the reality.
You should own your website code.
You should own the source and the compile.
You should not be in long contracts. Think wireless companies.
You should have backup plans.
How much money do you think you are loosing cause you saved a few bucks a month?
Network solutions currently has a $.99 a month hosting special.
Sounds like a catastrophic outage which they should have been better situated to prevent/recover from. Once it’s a done deal, there are priorities and sequences that need to be followed to perform an orderly restore. It also sounds like their network “engineers” are not top quality folks or they would have been better postured for the outage and subsequent recovery. They probably tried to save some cash by cutting corners and it has the potential to bite them big time. Good luck.
This site cost me fifty a quarter.
I was paying what I thought was a good price, 50 a quarter for hosting.
I have a copy of the site here....somewhere.
I dont want to beat them up. I want to fix this and not lose traction on Google.
just goto Godaddy.com until your other host is up. Its a monthly service
Do you have a copy of the website? If so, post it to another host and update your DNS settings to point to the new server and your problem is solved.
If you don’t have an exact copy of your site downloaded to your local computer (or to the person that programmed your site) then you are SOL until the servers come back online.
Call your programmer and see if they have a copy.
