with an, in my eyes, totally being unfair webhost?! I’ve had it with them. Seriously, I have. If you want to know which host I’m talking about, leave me a comment with an addy and I’ll fill you in. After 4 years of having my website at their place, this last year it’s only giving me trouble, thanks to some lovely hackers who think it’s nice to hack a website! Last time that happened, it took me three months to get my site online and according to them it was because I’ve been a long time member without any troubles. This weekend I had troubles logging into my cpanel, emailed them and it took two days for they replied. When they had, it was a small email telling me they’d reset my password and really, I could log in again. When I did I saw someone had added emailaddresses. So emailed them back, and this is what I get: Site taken offline. I’ve learned my lesson, let me tell you that! Never email back when unexpected things have happened to your site, even if you think they’ve might have done it as a test.

And of course all this had to happen on a Sunday, during Eastern, so the earliest time I’ll get an email back will be Tuesday. Seriously, I’m already searching for another webhost (anyone any good recommendations? I’d rather have a Dutch one though). I’m not so sure they will put my site back online a second time (although I threathend to refund the money back to my own bank account if they wouldn’t, I’ve just paid for a whole year). However, I do think it ridiculous that because of another person’s hackwork, they’re punishing me with an offline site! I’m not so sure I see justice in that. Why won’t help people by letting them know what the weak spot is, so they can do something about it. And when they haven’t done anything about it, okay, then I’ll understand why it’s been closed. Or maybe I’m just to naive concerning things like this.
