You may be noticing that many of the graphics on my blogs are broken -- again -- This morning -- as of now at least -- my web domains are down ... again.
The servers that host my two domains -- Allfaith.com and SriJagannatha.com were successfully attacked by hackers a few days ago and crashed. The company says their software protected their hardware and software but all the data they contained was destroyed and they kept no back-up files of their client's materials. Everything I had online from both domains was gone.
I had fairly recent backups of much of my writings and all of graphics (except for three images thus far) and have re-uploaded those. Other pages I've restored by using Google's cache service and copying and pasting from my blogs.
Frankly, I got lazy and stopped making back-ups because my server was also so dependable -- plus I always just assumed they made back ups (apparently its in their fine print somewhere that they don't, most servers do) -- they don't.
So, for the last four days I've been spending about 12 hours a day uploading and updating my domains. As I re-uploaded and re-pasted everything I was careful to make back ups and copy them onto other media to protect them.
Well guess what! The site has apparently crashed again!
At this point I don't know why they are down yet. MAYBE they are just installing some new security software or something... Hopefully... One of the things they don't do that I wish they did is send out e-mails when these things happen. Last time I sent three requests for into and got no replies for 30 hours, until after the site was back up. But for now they are down again. I've been hosted by a few different companies over the years but http://budgethostingweb.com/ has been my server much of the time I've been online. Until now they were never down for more than an hour or so at most. Their uptime was 99% +.
