Bluehost Update
Posted by LisaAug 25
I have many comments wondering what happened. Well, I haven’t posted what happened since I lost all access to the back end of my blogs. You may have noticed that I haven’t update — That’s why!!!! I found this as frustrating as when I was pregnant and I couldn’t figure out how to get rid of acne! Anybody who follows me on twitter knows I was in tears Thursday night. That’s how bad it got. I had to leave for a wedding up in Green Bay on Friday (see previous post), so I spent my morning on the phone with them, and I still did not have access before I left. I spent this afternoon on the phone with Bluehost again, and I am still having SQL errors! I had a friend’s husband offer to help, and I think we have solved most of the issues with this blog. However, I am now getting errors on some of my other blogs now. Soooo, I still haven’t decided what exactly I should do. I’m ready to pull my hair out. I’ll take any advice anyone has at this point! Should I stay with Bluehost or should I begin looking elsewhere? (oh and the ticket I submitted Wednesday still hasn’t been answered!)
If they haven’t gotten back to you by now I’d look else where.
I use Lunarpages and I love it. Affordable and reliable, with lots of free software you can use too - which is very cool - I haven’t had time to learn it all but looking forward to it. And I can have two blogs on one account no extra cost. Everything is backed up daily (I pay just a little extra each month for this - but it’s worth it)
Recently I had a problem with a script on a new blog (not live yet) - I had no clue - but evidently it was using 100% of the server! yikes! anyway - instead of shutting me down - Lunarpages disabled the script, called me and sent me an email that day - so I could have the person doing the blog setup fix it (I have no clue what a script is or what it does) - any way I was able to call Lunarpages that day and talk to a real person and I was not even shut down - the problem was fixed and all is well.
From what I’ve read when other folks have hosting problems - this type of service is not typical - so I was very pleased at helpful they were and how easily the problem got resolved.
I have a link in my right side bar to their site if you want to browse and check out all they have to offer.
I’m not an expert on hosting services - so there may be better out there - but from first hand experience I feel confident recommending Lunarpages.
