Website Problems

[kurchatovium]

My web hosting server looks like it is going out of business so I will most likely have to move my site. I might even need a new domain name. The site is up currently but I do not know for how long. It will be moved and I will put it back up. I will let you now what develops in this thread. I am truly sorry my site means so much to me but I will be back I promise. :cry1:

[kurchatovium]

So far my site is still up but it looks very much as my web hosting company is out of business. Any suggestions for a new web hosting service? :D

May I ask why this is in the silly forum?

[kurchatovium]

Well my website is very silly and all the people that come for info about it come to the silly forum. Sorry was not sure where to put it. :D

[Limeoutsider]

Ah I was thinking theyre would be more knowledgable people in GD who dont dare come be infected by the "fluff" forum

[kurchatovium]

Thanks Lime and that is a good ideal you had, but I also needed to notify people who visit my site that it may not be up at some point and to have a place to let them know when it is back up and functioning.

Kurch old boy, come join me at Influxhost (http://www.influxhost.net). Their service is prompt, and the prices can't be beat. :D

[kurchatovium]

I know I have been checking them out. I remembered you switched. How are they regarding service HDS? :D

[HisDivineShadow]

I have never had to wait more than a day (And probably less, but I didn't check too often :D) for a response from their support desk (Which actually works, unlike Hostmatix), and they have forums where you can post should your ticket ever vanish due to a technical glitch. THere was some downtime a month or so ago due to spammers and server crowding, but they sorted that out and I don't think I've been down in weeks.

[kurchatovium]

Thats great I actually need two websites one for kurchaotvums world and one for my business. They really do have great prices. :D :D

[HisDivineShadow]

I suggest you register your domains at a separate place, like www.enom.com (WHere mine is. They have impeccable customer service) That way, should you ever need to switch hosts again, you won't have to register a new domain.

Oh, and if you still have your original emails from Hostmatix, you can get your current domain back in a jiffy. HDS knows how.

[kurchatovium]

Thanks HDS. I may regester a new one like .net but I would like the old one back too. :D :D

[HisDivineShadow]

Just let me know if you do have the original emails, as transfer to you takes minutes.

[kurchatovium]

Thanks my friend. :D Do you mean the emails from when Hostmatix first contacted me?

[HisDivineShadow]

Yep, the original emails they sent when your first bought hosting from them. They are needed to prove you are the owner of the domain.

[kurchatovium]

Yes I do believe I made a copy of them Sometimes it pays to be anal retentive. LOL :D :D :p

[HisDivineShadow]

I hear that. HDS never deletes anything (Which has led to 7112 deleted items in my Deleted Mail folder.:D).
