Tiresome Self-Hosting
May 26, 2007 – 7:45 amHow time flies. I have self-hosted my WebStore for almost 2.5 years now *gasp* and self-hosted my blogs for almost half a year. While self-hosting sites allow us a lot more freedom to personalize and customize our our store or blog, what I don’t like is the fear that EVERYTHING could be lost or wiped out if there is a hacker or virus. If this happens, everything will be LOST. All the hard work will go down the drain.
Have you heard recently of the case where a hacker did something to the hosting company and all the websites that were hosting with them were defaced? I don’t know how that could have happened because I am not technical but it did happen and I *think* the sites were successfully restored, but not after wasting spending hours on them!
I am quite a careful person and try to make sure that my blogs and stores are backed up regularly as soon as I have made changes but sometimes after everything is done, it’s already very late or shall I say early, that I forget. And then only suddenly remember of my undone task when I have shut down my computer and lied down in bed and then I just have to get up and back up my files *sigh*
I long for the days on Blogger when I could just write as much as I like and free my mind from worry that my posts may go missing when I wake up. Free hosting is not that bad, you know?
