Egads! Just what I don't need, to be served! Fortunately, it is not a legal proceeding but a
cyberspace issue. Switching service providers for my websites. Twice in three months to be precise.
iPage was just a waste and continued to dis-improve with every improvement.
Sometime you just get fed up with bad customer service and despite the extra work,
it's time to change.
Switched to
hostgator but they fully bungled the transfer. More than two months later they still hadn't
done it. They wanted to charge me for the free migration they promised.
The thing is, they failed to do their job within their 30-day grace period and tried to hold me financially
responsible for their screw-up. What a great business model...I'd be rich if I could do the same!
Come to find out both are owned by the same company so good riddance!
I'm not a doctor but I know that someone with a severed carotid artery needs serious medical attention.
I'm not a webpage designer per se but both of these companies are hemorrhaging common sense!
It remains to be seen whether inmotion hosting will be any better.
It's not an easy job to change website providers. All 500+ of my pages will have to
be updated with new website addresses, the blogs with a new look, and more.
Plus, I will be upgrading the appearance and making back-end functional improvements.
Thankfully a little coding will automate the process, mostly.
For about $300 they'd migrate all the files but I'd still have to update them all.
The pictures, however, could be transferred without fanfare. Except I want
to take more modern-looking pictures for my products so I'd have to upload new
ones eventually. Stuck with only
a DSL connection, those 6000+ pictures will not upload in due haste.
But it's small time compared to retaking most product pictures - gotta make them look
more modern and cleaner.
