Question Posted Thursday September 23 2004, 4:00 pm
When this site was getting hosts changed or whatever, and it was on a temporary hosting thingy, I could get in and stuff, and i answered a question in my inbox, and it hasn't shown up in my column? What happened?
MFS answered Thursday September 23 2004, 4:03 pm: Anything that happened between September 4th and the day the site came back on-line is lost. The intermediate host really fucked things for us, but we were only on-line for a very brief period of time (like, a few hours).
There's nothing we can do about the things that were lost during that time. We really are lucky that so little was lost and that we were able to transport the whole site to this new host we're on.
EDIT: Given HardRock's presumption, that is probalby not the case. We were seriously screwed over by the "middle" host we had. They put us on a server with several HUNDRED other sites, then complained when we got a lot of traffic. They knew damned well what our site demand was, and ignored it. In the process, it screwed us up for a while.
Anything posted during the brief time we were back on-line after the first move is gone and will not be coming back. [ MFS's advice column | Ask MFS A Question ]
