Well I called my hosting service and asked for “.htaccess” services and they offered to “migrate” me to another hosting plan that would offer what I needed. It sounded good but what they didn’t tell me was that I would be offline for a few days while they transfer my files to new tower servers. Boy was that a panic this morning when I got up and realized that all my website data was seemingly gone!!! A frantic call to their support line calmed me down but I still don’t have my data back yet. This means that all my pics (found on this page) are not available. Along with my photo album of my Dad’s memorial service and out Hawaii trip that most of my family is looking for. Oh well. At least there’s hope that my data is still in transit and not lost.
Lesson learned: keep a backup of anything online!
