As I wait for my blog to come back online I am plagued by the thought: “Where are people getting their quotes?” Seriously though, I have been through two other hosting companies and found that I want to remain doing business with #topclasshost. I am in contact with them to get Damien at the Speed of Life back online. More on why I am staying later …

Went Back to Topclasshost and …
After almost 2 days of a white screen supposed to be my site, I thought I’d be a fool not to venture out. I tried out two other hosting providers. After that I realized I was too “used to” the topclasshost interface and service. I cut my teeth on email them for support and backing up my sql through cPanel. So, I went back and opened a new account at Topclasshost to see if it would show up. It did. Now I just have to wait until my domains are activated back at the place for now I am still calling home. Stay tuned for details on the progress of damienriley.com

Blog Down Again
I have a bunch of free blogs I use for different purposes. This one has sort of become my venting board when technology lets me down. After all, creating and innovating sometimes requires a rant.
My hosting provider crashed their systems last Thursday and I was able to restore most of my database from a backup I had made a month ago. I was feeling good about the company again and then BAM … my site went down again tonight.
- No blogging about my day at Disneyland (so I did it on Facebook)
- No doing posts for money (we’ll have to see how long that can last with a dead server!)
- No adding the cool backgrounds I made in the past week
- No doing the thing I vowed to start doing “backing up”
- And a bunch of other “no doing”s
The question before me now is simple: Do I stay with this host server or take my backups and start elsewhere. They have been really helpful to me for years. Is this just something I should accept? Really hard to say at this point. Chances are, it will go back on in a little bit and I will be over these frustrations. But sometimes frustrations can be good. They force us to find better pastures. What’s your advice?
