What Questions should you ask a Web Host before Signing Up?

Have you build a website and are now looking for a host? Or, are you so fed up with the current host that you want to transfer your site to another? Whatever the reason is, you will always hear from some news every week that one or the other host has been down.

Before you start researching, ask your friends (who already have sites) for advice and seek answers on active specialized web hosting forums by searching previous threads on topics similar to your question. If you do not find similar threads that answer your questions, you can open a new thread and ask for open suggestions.

Once you have narrowed down the search to about five providers, call them individually and quiz them about their operations. Their approach to you, the quality of answers they give and the degree of professionalism they show count a lot. Note them and then take an informed decision.

How NOT to Delete Your Database: Get it Back

Yes, it did. I confirmed it.

I didn’t think I would leave a generic title on the database name, and I thought it would be better to have more space and delete the extra database from a website I no longer used. Was it the extra site I no longer used? Nope. Like I said, I confirmed my deletion.

My lights went off, and now I’m panicking, because I now have no idea how to get my blog site back up and running. Research. Google. Search. Look. So much to look at. Finally, I gave in—and being luckily to have a website friend—I asked him to help me out. He was happy to.
