Back after server hack
2011-09-23 20:37 |
Hey guys,
Welcome back to the Three Ravens Photography website. All I can say is, back up your work. Here's the story:
I was hosted with ClicknGo who, for all intensive purposes, were reliable, had good customer service and helped out whenever I needed them to. A hack was made on four of their servers, deleting key header files and essentially destroying the data they contained. Unfortunately my website was on one of these servers and I hadn't backed it up. It saw the risk as being minimal after all, why would someone hack a server?!
It was around this time ClicknGo's service turned to shit. It's taken me this long just to get the transfer to another hosting! They did not give any indication as to why the server was down and left thousands of customers in the dark. They would not answer the phone, return phone messages, emails etc.. it could have been handled better.
Regardless, here we are! I hope to have all my photos back up in the next week or two, so check back often.
Cheers
- Adrian
