It’s a shame but it happened: My hosting company “Vodahost” deleted all my databases and all my files on their server. What did I do? Well, I’ve installed a new directory script that automatically builds up backlinks for me and somehow that script used too many server ressources. So the server automatically suspended my account and my websites were all offline.

So I contacted Vodahost and told them that this new script must have caused this and that I’ll delete that directory script once they get my websites back online. Well, they replied and told me: “We did a complete reset on your account… if you use any traffic scripts again we will completely remove your account”.

Wow… I replied and asked them to please get my website and databases back online… they must have a backup somewhere. I told them that they can completely remove my account if they can’t get my websites back up… I won’t risk to build up the websites again from scratch if they simply delete my stuff for no reason.

Well, they did not reply… and half my business is gone… great

That means Vodahost has deleted all my databases, all my membership sites, my blog and a lot more. What a shame for a hosting company to do things like this with their customers!

Well… I’m a person who sees this as a chance to rebuild from scratch and to improve everything. I’ve created my own little challenge to rebuild everything and get double the results within one month… and I would like to invite you to read and follow my progress right here on the blog. I can’t promise to write about everything because it’s just too much. I basically create everything myself weather it be graphics, programming the scripts, writing content and promoting the websites.

As I write this I’ve already done the first important steps:

1. I’ve ordered a dedicated server which will cost me $170 each month. I think this is the best investment I can do to become independent from those buggy shared servers and rude hosting companies like Vodahost. One problem with these shared servers is that in most cases you are not allowed to send out more than 200 emails every hour. So if you run a huge giveaway event or a membership site it might happen that members don’t get their activation email.. and then you will have lots of non activated members. This happens if there are more than 200 signups in one hour… not unusual for giveaway events or program launches!

The second problem with shared servers is exactly what happened with me… loss of data, account suspensions… So for me the only way to be independent is the dedicated server.

2. While I’m waiting here to get my server details I’ve started to build my websites offline. I use the GWM2 script for all the membership sites that I’ll launch. I’ll go with each website in a Pre-Launch for at least 2 weeks, then follows the actual Launch. You will read about these launches here on the blog.

The first membership site that I’ll launch will be the EasyViralTraffic system. This system teaches you how to build up unlimited viral traffic for free. The website is in Pre-Launch as I write this… you can have a look right here: http://www.easy-viral-traffic.com/members.php

Stay tuned!
