My Worst Hosting Experience.. Hosting Frustration..
Well, today I woke up to 5 of my websites missing any content what so ever. The only thing that was showing was the the header of the sites. But with some of the browsers I could not even get this much to show up. At first I thought, man someone just hacked the hell out of my sites. But looking at the sites closer it just looked like the database connection was not active. So, I proceeded to call godaddy.com. It just happens that all of these sites were hosted with godaddy. I spent at least a half an hour with their customer service reps going back and forth. But, they could not find anything that was wrong with my connections. So, I decided I needed to start playing around with my site and found that the wordpress admin area was running without any flaws. So, the database was up and running to my dismay.
Their goes my database theory.. I started messing around with my plugins and de-activating plugin and activating plugin and finally I got some life back to the sites. I found that over the weekend something changed to the tune that my plugins were not working anymore. Because the plugins were not working no content was being loaded. This took me about 3 hours to find out. So, I proceeded to trying anything and everything to try to get the plugins to work again but I was not able to.
This really pissed me off. What could have changed to stop my plugin from not working???? I just could not figure it out. As a result I decided to move 2 of the sites to a new hosting server. Thus, getting off of godaddy.. I guess this mishap gave me an excuse to move the website, as I did not like the hosting that godaddy was providing.
What was your worse hosting experience? What did you do to solve it?
