Server back online

03 07 2007

Okay, I think I've learned my lesson. I've tried a few "unlimited" webhosting offers from eBay and typically start off happy, but after a few months, sometimes only a few weeks, I run into problems. ameir.net was down for a while--and thus received no updates--because the webhost suddenly deleted my account without warning and did not respond to any of my messages. They "accidentally" did so a few times before and recreated my account after some yelling, but the most recent time just didn't work out. It took me so long to bring the site back online because I was wary of getting another super-cheap host, I didn't know of any trustworthy, reliable, and ad-free free webhosts, and I was also very busy with school. Anyways, I resorted to hosting my own server for now, so hopefully that will take care of the plethora of problems I've encountered. I'll try to update the site regularly. Keep checking the site for updates.

I was wondering what happened. I kept checking back from time to time and was surprised the site was down. I just "googled" my name and your site was up in the top of the list... so I came to visit.

So, what kind of traffic do you push? How many GB / month? Not sure why any host would have so many problems with your site.

I actually don't even push that much traffic. Almost everything on my site is text-based. I don't think bandwidth was the issue, it was just that the hosts didn't intend to give their customers the full promised hosting period. I guess the hosts were considered along the lines of scammers.
