Since my website is out, I have been busy with other things. Yes, what can I do about it? I hope my programmer is not yet dead. My advise to anyone who wants to sign up with cheap hosting, DON'T! Better sign up with the giants. Even if they are expensive, they are reliable and you don't have to worry about them going out of business. The only issue is the price but in the long run, it would pay for itself.
I already know about this even before I signed up with an unknown hosting, they are called resellers. But the reason I signed up with this reseller is because he is also my programmer. I found him from Scriptlance. And going back, it is Holly Mann who recommended Scriptlance in her Honest Riches eBook. (This blog is all about my internet marketing stint after buying Holly Mann's eBook).
The price I'm paying right now exceeds what I bargained for. I really choose a low bid (but not the lowest bid) when I have the project posted at Scriptlance. The programmer offered his service, his own CMS, and his own hosting. Looks like a sweet package deal but it turns out to be bitter. Don't get me wrong, the programmer is smart and accommodating but there are matters that are beyond him. Like this internet service interruption. I don't know where the damage is done. The bigger problem is that he is unreachable. If his internet is shut down, he won't be able to get online. And so this cycle of frustrations coming through.
I hope that by this experience, someone would learn the lesson and not make the same mistake like I did.
