Reseller hosting, beware

August 18th, 2008

Today is the third time that my personal blog has been down and I have had to relaunch it.  You see I thought signing with a hosting company that offered reseller hosting would be great I could host all my sites for less that $25 a month and also make a little money on the side providing hosting for others so I signed with AceGx.com. About 2 weeks ago while surfing the net I decided to take a look at my sites to check their stats and that is when I noticed all my sites were down. After a little research to find out why, I came across WebHostingTalk.com and saw that AceGx.com was just a get rich scam for someone. So here I am in my third day trying to get all my sites back online.

If I only backed my sites up daily, all I would have to do is upload the backups and be on my way. Because I did not create a backup I have to get all the content created again. Trying to save money is always a good thing, but in the process you need to research the companies or sites to make sure that they are reputable in the business that they represent. I had to find out the hard way and lost everything on my sites. Also remember to create a backup of your site. I know I will from now on or at least save a copy of the articles for your content site to a disk or your hard drive.
