    My blog - www.beatsfortheplanet.com is acting very wierd

    Its done this twice now.

    Basically the blog will just revert back to an older date.

    Last night i lost all posts, user accounts, script modifications that had been inputted after 6th January

    I was frantically trying to retrieve back all my articles and contacted my hosters and they said the server was fine and had no problems their end.

    I woke up this morning and everything has gone back to normal.

    Its annoying coz i smashed my headphones in anger after seeing i had lost about 20 articles i had written and now they are all back....pheww

    Anyones's blog experiencing these problems??

    im thinking of switching hosting to see if thats the problem

    From my experience, it's usually the web hoster's fault, but they'll probably won't admit it anyway. It happens probably because the server you're on may be corrupted, and since they don't do regular backup, i.e. not nightly, they'll just restore whatever they have there and act as if everything's normal.

    Check your logs, if possible every hour, to keep track of this issue.

    Maybe you should start an angermanagement.com blog. :)

    Hope the headphones are okay. Those puppies aren't cheap.

    I know somebody got the same problem as you. And he found up that the host is responsable for that

    hmmm ye i guess it was the host.

    They dont seem to professional, quite a bit of downtime.

    Think i might switch over to someone else.

    i think they shouldat least pay for some new headphones :p
