Same site New look

Erin's picture
I have always believed in hosting my own site.

I have always had my own server, because I never wanted to be at the mercy of someone else's poorly designed and poorly executed system. Things have been difficult though at the location where I am currently hosting my server, and I thought it was time to move on.

I work for a ISP as well and I wanted to host my services here at work there was no English support, so I decided to look else where. I found hostgator while working with a friend on his site. I had a look at his control panel and the features they offered and though I should give it a try.

I honestly have never been more pleased with a purchase in my life.

Every thing just worked, and when I encountered a problem. Like I could not load my sql file for my database, I contacted tech support.

Me: Hi! Is there a way I can get a command line interface to the mysql server on my virtual host?
Tech Support: Did you try to ssh to the site and use the command line tools?
Me: A no can I do that?
Tech Support: Sure do you want to enable ssh?
Me: Yes please.
Tech Support: OK ssh is enabled.
Me: Thank you.

5 minutes later I had my db loaded and was ready to rock and roll. I took 3 minutes to remember what the commands where and 2 minutes to clean up the mess.

Another issue which was a little more complex was sorted out in e-mails in about 40 minutes.

Hostgator I am happy to be a new customer of yours, and I think we will be working together for some time to come.

So now that we are back on the air look forward to some more updates about what we did this summer and how things are going with baby Anna and Eric. Also if you have any comments or questions send me a mail through the contact us form.
