Back After Hosting Problem

Nov 21

Posted by David Hobson in Blog Reports | 7 Comments

fall home Back After Hosting ProblemSorry guys, lots of problem with my host when I went out for 2 days. My wordpress hosting account was suspended and I lost my backup too as my computer crashed during the same period. Worst days these were and somehow I was able to get a backup for this blog. Thanks to hostgator, they are really a best web hosting providers.

I already have 2 hostgator hosting accounts but I thought to buy something new and went to Lunarpages web hosting. Currently they are running a great promotional offer which can get you unlimited featured hosting for as low as $5/month compared to $10/month from similar featured hostings. I grabbed the deal and tell you – lunarpages rocks too. Their support is also good as said on their website.

As this blog is very big with over 250 blog posts, I had few problems backing up mysql database. But nothing can stop me from bringing this blog again. I dropped some unimportant stats and such tables to make the database small and imported again. It worked !! Will continue posting again. Hope there will be no hosting problem again – its very tough to come out of such situations. icon smile Back After Hosting Problem
