I'm not suggesting 4 months wasn't excessive, just suggesting there may have been a different and possbily more mutually benificial way to handle it. I think the servers should have been taken offline being so behind, just suggesting maybe having a larger gap between taking them off line and erasing the data. Just my opinion reading over what was written, not blindly defending JewCat and not hating on the hosting company whatsoever, just making a suggestion. It wasn't 4 months of radio silence, Jewcat was making efforts to catch up. Wiping the servers when you already have half the past due amount deposited and pending seems a little hardcore. That's all.

If my host ever wiped my shit out without telling me I would not sit down, nor accept that it was my fault. Fucking A, times are tough, sometimes people steal all your money, sometimes your site doesn't do well, sometimes... well whatever... If a host took down my site, fine. If a host deleted all my shit there would be fuckin' hell to pay. And I'm not talking about obscene phone calls... fuck this shit! |

ALWAYS have *local* backups not just remote backups with the same hosting/server company as I have seen many suggesting. If your sites change often and are not static there is little excuse not to have at least one local or otherwise off-site backup that is no more than a month old. You never know what can happen with your host or what they will do. Mistakes can be made as well as misunderstandings. If you don't have a local or offsite backup which is no more than a month old, start working on it right now or first thing in the morning. Better yet try to automate it completely. For example You can have your server admin set up some scripts to do the job on the remote end and place the backups in a special directory and then set something up on your local machine to download the backups from the server on a regular basis to a special hard drive. If you use Linux at home you might even set up sshfs ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSHFS ) to directly (by mounting a local HDD on the remote server) place the backups in a local subdirectory for you. Note possible security implications of doing this however.
Anyway, Good luck Angry Jew Cat. |

don't spend money as fast as you can make it. It is everyone's natural tendency to spend more as they make more. It is very damaging for several reasons. 1. Most people that start making "mad money" all of a sudden, it rarely lasts long. Easy come, easy go.. while maybe not the best expression because you were working hard, it does play out pretty much that way. 2. When people start making more money they dig themselves into a hole. They go buy that nice car but instead of paying cash for it, they put a little money down and finance the rest. SO what it has a $750 a month note, hell they making that now in 1 day. Then when the money runs dry they can't afford $750 a month so they lose the car, lose the little money they put into it, and destroy their credit and now have no vehicle ( <- worse then they started). You can substitute house for car in the same scenario. People also run up lots of credit card debt as they make more money because they think " I will pay it off next month" etc... Which never happens and then when the monthly payments get high right about the same time their income tanks. 3. People neglect their business and spend the money on bullshit. Like in your case you put no money aside for your future business expenses. You should have built up a reserve of at least 12 months for hosting, etc... to cover your business expenses before you started blowing money on buying expensive christmas presents. You need to have money for bad stretches to get you through them to the next good run. When you blow all of your money on bullshit and then you hit a bad stretch you wind up not being able to pay for hosting and you got out of business. 4. People make bad investments when money is flowing in. (this one I have been victim of). When you making 30K a week you get a lot more risky with your money, so what if I blow 30K on a new project, that is just one weeks check. Make stupid mistakes and lose money left and right on bad projects, when you start making a lot less you will have wished you were more safe with your business decisions. It is good to diversify and reinvest into your business, but people get so risky and carefree they almost always blow it. You need to make decisions like that is the last bit of money you have to your name, not that it was just 1 week's check if it doesn't work oh well I will make more. if nothing else learn from your mistakes.

Hey Angry Jew Cat, if you are really leaving the business and you have no use for your backups, you can send them my way ;) I have some dormant domains that could use some content

I just started the job again last month after working online exclusive for quite a while. Obviously I have no problem paying for things now. As soon as i collected my first check back, I fixed my truck, paid my insurance, paid rent, nd sent in a partial payment for my the debt on my hosting. Covered the rest owing on my second check. Leading up to this times were getting tough. Thus why I didn't waste any time jumping at the job again when it was offered to me. They called me in the morning. I packed by bags and was out the door the next day. It's a good job, no doubt about it, sort of whyI'm not giving too much of a shit that things are gone. I can work right through the year and make a healthy $80k/year, or I can take an optional winter layoff and collect employment insurance. I'll be soaking up the benefits of socialism and snowboarding on EI. Woo hoo.

In reality I got lucky and hit the right spot at the right time, and ade a good run of it for a couple months. Truthfully I was probably about 2 months late for the really sweet spot, but I did get a taste of what it's like. |

Don't most dedicated server plans ask you for a credit card to auto-bill monthly instead of making the customer pay monthly bills separately each month via a web based form or snail mail?

Never trust your host when it comes to backups. I learned it the hard way.

Sorry to hear about this. I had a server fail once (not due to non payment) and lack of backups set me back 6+ months of work as I lost 100+ sites in one blow. I know all about the spending habits also once you reach an income level which you have never seen before. Adult is definitely tanking and I am trying my best to move most of my interests elsewhere, though once you get in here and have a network of 1,000+ sites it seems to be a black hole which you can never get out of.
At any rate good luck in your future endeavors. I am pretty sure we had similar interests in regards to marketing so if you put anything up for sale feel free to email me, I am always buying. Quoted for truth: Quote:

Scary story with some great lessons to be learned about keeping your own backups. Rsync can do this for you and run automatically each night and probably be finished in 10 minutes or less in most cases.

Amerinoc/Phatservers has always gone above and beyond with anything I have ever needed and that includes billing problems I've had in the past.
Not saying anything about Jew Cat but I want to make sure people know that Amerinoc/Phatservers is the best internet company I have EVER dealt with and I've been about since about 2001 ![]() Sorry to hear of your problems Jew Cat and best of luck. If you have an 80k a year job then it sounds like you still landed on your feet! ![]() |
