FINALLY!!!

OMG!! I shouldn’t even be up right now. It’s after 11:30pm. But I’ve been pissed about my website ever since Saturday morning. My host had some sort of issue. Ever since then, I haven’t been able to get to my OWN websites from home. Talk about a not happy Becky …

I was laying in bed tonite and just couldn’t get to sleep. First I got up to check out easyPHP. I’d like to be able to test stuff without uploading to my web host. I think I’m gonna try to install that either tomorrow nite or this weekend and see if I can get things to work.

Then … I had a revelation … At work, when we were testing the new server for one of our clients, we modified the hosts files on our computers so we could get to the new server. I thought … I wonder if that will help me out with my issues with my sites. So … here I am … out of bed and at the computer at 11:41pm. I found my hosts file and added in the IP for my website and WHAMO … I can actually get my websites now. Woohoo!!! That still doesn’t fix the issue. I’m STILL not happy with my web host.

I mean … I asked them to move me to a different server (to try to fix the problem) at 6:41pm on June 13th. Well … it’s 11:43pm on June 15th and I have yet to get a response. I sent a new support ticket telling them not to move my account. I have other plans …

Now that I can get to my sites again, I’m heading to bed. Maybe I’ll get a good nite’s sleep. I’m just so happy to have my websites back. And I can get my email too.

And who’da thunk it … all I would have had to do this entire time was modify my hosts file. But that still doesn’t fix the underlying issues. I’m just happy I can blog again.
