Where Is My Content
I am now writing at my new site One .Net Way
You may have noticed that all posts have disappeared from my blog. This is probably the saddest moment for this blog. Reality is that my hosting company had a hardware failure and its all gone. Backups? What backups? Now this part is the most frustrating and the one which angers me. When I called up the hosting company they said that the backups were also gone. I wonder if they had any backups.
Am I angry? Most definitely I am. I was relying on my hosting company to have an adequate backup strategy in case of disasters. Now I could have and in hindsight I think that I should have backed up my data. But I was relying on the fact that I am hosting with a reliable provider and I am paying them to do a job. Think about it, when you deposit money in a bank do you also employ your personal security guard to stand outside the bank. You don’t because you know that you pay fees and expect service from your bank. I know this post is a whinge. But after loosing all the content which I created for more than 2 years I am entitled to one.
So what I am doing for future. Firstly I have closed my accounts with the crap-o-hosting company and I have moved to another company. Yesterday I got an email from crap-o-hosting informing me that they have recovered my database and they will email it to me. I have not heard from them till this moment. And I do not have many hopes either. I will count my losses and move on. A crappy company cannot stop me from doing what I like to do. So stay tuned for more interesting and useful content from me.
Once again for those who read my blog and for those who find me through search engines, I apologise for all those 404 errors.
Oh yes and If you want to know about crap-o-hosting company I was with then leave me a comment and I will be happy to name them.
