SMITTEN.NU

True love cannot be found where it truly does not exist, nor can it be hidden where it truly does.

Nothing, and I Mean Nothing Can Ever Keep You Down.

First off I want to apologize for the down time. Believe me when I say I’ve been busting my ass to try and get this site back online. It’s difficult though when you’re working 5 days a week and about 44 hours a week. Thankfully, however it’s my day off and I can finally work on this site.

If you’re wondering what happened, I was having database issue and my old host said he’d have it fixed last night which to no surprise it wasn’t. I decided to go on Ebay and see if I could find any good deal on resellers and happened to luck out and find a reseller that was unlimited everything for $19.99/monthly. I was pretty hesitant to purchase it because I was sure there would be issues with the company (normally on good deals like that, there are) but considering my issues with my current host, I figured could it really get any worse? Well, I purchased the hosting package and when I returned home last night, they had e-mailed me asking for my information and now here I am.

I’m hoping that I can rely on this company and I won’t have any further hosting issues, but only time will tell. I have decided, however that if I have any more problems with hosting, I’m going to purchase a dedicated server because I hate relying on people, especially ones that only let me down. Let’s hope it won’t come to that. Also because of the database issue, I lost my previous entries which is why, unfortunately I have to start anew. I had a idea about adding some pictures of myself, friends, Robby, and other people who are in my life on a daily basis, however I wanted to know if you all thought that would be a good idea? Would you actuallly care to take the time to look at the pictures or should I just scrap the idea and leave the pictures off of my website? Let me know what you all think, I really value your opinions.

Anyway, I’m now behind on my Despair comments because of my site issue so I’ll probably spend sometime today returning comments, as well as working on Metamorphosis Hosting Solutions. This will be after I run to the bank to add Robby to my bank account and run a few other errands which may involve shopping :lol: It’ll make me feel better after a brutally hard day at work last night and besides I think I deserve a little spending, considering how hard I’ve been working.

Well, I really must run. I have to wake Robby up so we can make it to the bank before it closes as well as run a few other errands. I just wanted to update all of you on my situation and to let you all know that I didn’t disappear. Expect an update later today once I’ve finished putting everything together. Until next time “The only person who can keep you down… is yourself.” (Me)

I’m sorry that your host, or should I say ex-host, sucked!! My site has been down only once since I got hosted. Shoot, since my friend bought the domain. And it’s been 2 years already of that… so yeah. Sometimes we buy the cheap stuff, and they turn out to suck. As for the pictures, I have a gallery and I don’t even know if anyone checks it out!! haha.. I would look @ the pictures, but sometimes I think putting pictures up online could be dangerous. I don’t know. But whatever you decide would be good :)… I hope you have a nice few days off!! Take care.

Heyy. Glad you’re back. I hope your host won’t let you down. =) And I’d take the time to look through pics. It’ll be cool. I should put pics of myself on my site actually. lol X)

ew.. Well if you have a problem with this new hosting company try mixxture hosting. Their great!

Also You’re site is lovely as it is. :) Don’t stress out about the small things.

I told you. Didn’t I tell you about them?

Aaanyway, I heard about Ebay, but I was like “I don’t think so”, lol. Maybe this new host is actually reliable so you don’t have to get a dedicated server (I mean, the perks of having one is beyond mentionable, but if you don’t have the funds…).

I probably would look at the pictures, but maybe password protecting it or something so that nasty evil bitches don’t muck anything up. :)

Welcome back, hehe. I really hope this host won’t let you down!

I’d love to look at your pictures. I’d definetely do so if you decide to add them.

Its good to take a break =)
Thanks for the comment!
My host has been good so far, but I’ve heard many negative comments about them.
My parents don’t let me put up my pictures but I don’t really mind because I understand that there can be some phsycos.
Good luck with your host!

Server issues, man… I hate ‘em. Magicomm (my hosting company) seems to give me an hour or two of downtime every Friday, it’s like clockwork. But they don’t seem to of upgraded anything, so the downtime is just probably unscheduled. I’m looking to move everything to a reseller slot on my friends server, because it seems alot more reliable. -_-;;

How much does it cost to purchase your own server, anyway? I always thought it would be pretty effin’ expensive, but Im already being ripped off by ten or so dollars with my current hosting package (which I pay for yearly, thank goodness). If I could find something better and switch around Christmas (when I have money)… I’d be much happier, haha.


Now that I’ve rambled yer ear off.. I”ll end this :shh:

The site is great. I also work about 40 hours a week and find it really hard to maintian my website. I get 2 days off a week but I’m usually busy with other stuff.

Just wanted to say welcome back :-)

Sorry to hear you had such problems with your previous host :/ I hope this new one is better, so you wouldn’t have to go through yet another change
25 August 06 at 15:17
Sorry about your old host. Downtime sucks. Good luck with the new host though :) .
28 August 06 at 05:17
Sorry that you had to go through downtime. Hopeful this new company is more reliable. I’ve never owned the domain, so I don’t personally know the hassle that people go through to keep theirs running smoothly. But I have a lot of friends with constant domain problems. :/

Anyway, have fun shopping!

If I were you I wouldn’t stick the image in the middle of the post, it breaks up the post and after a few, it would get annoying. If anything, I would have the name link to a pop-up picture of them. Then if people wanted to see who the people were, all they had to do is click! I’ve seen sites that have a subpage with a “casting” of people they talk about.. With a picture, their relationship to them, and some brief history.. Its pretty cool :)
