Blog Down Again

I have a bunch of free blogs I use for different purposes. This one has sort of become my venting board when technology lets me down. After all, creating and innovating sometimes requires a rant.

My hosting provider crashed their systems last Thursday and I was able to restore most of my database from a backup I had made a month ago. I was feeling good about the company again and then BAM … my site went down again tonight.

  • No blogging about my day at Disneyland (so I did it on Facebook)
  • No doing posts for money (we’ll have to see how long that can last with a dead server!)
  • No adding the cool backgrounds I made in the past week
  • No doing the thing I vowed to start doing “backing up”
  • And a bunch of other “no doing”s

The question before me now is simple: Do I stay with this host server or take my backups and start elsewhere. They have been really helpful to me for years. Is this just something I should accept? Really hard to say at this point. Chances are, it will go back on in a little bit and I will be over these frustrations. But sometimes frustrations can be good. They force us to find better pastures. What’s your advice?

Going to Disneyland in about an hour. Looking forward most to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Indiana Jones ride.

Much progress was made this evening on restoring my blog after the crash. Thank you for your patience. http://bit.ly/aNhTrr
