Hello all, you may or may not have noticed but for the last week or so my website has been offline. This was due to the fact my hosting provider (4sites), without any warning, decided to switch off the server and ceased to exist, which was nice of them. The worst part about this was that I hadn’t backed up my website in a while and I had no way of getting access to my files or the database… that is until the lovely people at Rackspace contacted me and gave me 7 days access to the server, as they knew 4sites where not going to bother with me or the many others that had hosted with 4sites, so a big thank you to Rackspace. Luckily I have had my eye on Media temple for the last few months for hosting, so have decided to give them a go, hopefully (fingers crossed) they wont be disappearing without warning in the near future, and it will be better to be with a reputable company.
Key point of this post, don’t host your website with 4sites!
