AddAction = ErrorAction

To say I am pissed off would be a major understatement. Some of you may have noticed that over the past two days something funny has been happening to my site. Firstly it wouldn’t load, and then it loaded with data up until October, uhhhh, where the fark is all my November stuff!! What gets me most is that I have completely lost all the “behind the scenes” changes I have been making recently with the CSS stylesheets etc. Great, back to square bloody one!

Luckily I was able to recover the text of my recent posts by using Google’s cache function and then cutting and pasting the text back in, although unfortunately I wasn’t able to recover some of the more recent posts.

I am really annoyed with the company who host my site Addaction.net !Firstly let me say I have never had a problem with them before and they have been great up to now, wouldn’t it be lovely if that was the end of it.

Well it isn’t! Yesterday, after establishing that something was wrong I emailed them for support. They replied that the server was down for upgrade and would be up and running again shortly, they told me that I could email the billings department and request a free months hosting - great, an extra £3 !?! Then today I notice that my site has been reset to the 25th October!!! I have received another response from them saying that all my data will be restored as they are still working with the system. Ordinarily this would make me content and I wouldn’t let the red mist descend until they had come back to me again. BUT, again another but, Brendan also has his site hosted with Addaction.net and he got two completely different responses!! They told him that the site is being upgraded AND DID NOT offer him a free months upgrade. They then told him that all information and data had been lost and could not be recovered by their system!!!!

Thanks Addaction.net , thanks a lot, my advice to anybody out there looking for a good hosting service is definitely not to go with Addaction.net !!!
