Sticking with Hosting When Things Go Bad

[jyy1]

The hosting getting a ddos attack, for instance, might not be the fault of the provider I think. In that case, should people make silly claims like the host should have been more prepared? Well, those arguments might have merit, but it depends on the situation.

Anyway, I was with this one host that was cheap and popular and it unfortunately got a massive ddos attack which probably hurt it's business quite a bit. Anyway, the place is still going strong now from what it seems like.

We all know that an attack cannot be avoided at times. In fact this site where this forum is has been attacked when it was just new. But we cannot blame the host provider except when the neglect is obvious. However, on a personal choice maybe I would transfer to another host provider just to play it safe. On the other hand, a friend who is a tech said that when a host is attacked then it would surely implement defensive measures. That is a hint that staying with the same host would be safer than going to another.

I am a small website owner, my website does not generate a lot of money or traffic. I am hosting my website on shared hosting. I never have had any issues with my host. My host claim to provide 99.99 percent uptime and as far as I can remember, my website has never gone offline. However, in case things go wrong with my hosting, I will easily replace it with a better service.

Staying with a hosting platform that got attacked isn't the problem. The problem now is that won't this affect your own business? Imagine a case whereby you run an ecommerce store and you need to attend to a lots of customers with sales and delivery and next thing your hosting site went off. You know this will cost you a lot of money because your customers will look else where.

Your best bet would be sticking to them until it is resolved since your data is hosted with them. If there's anybody that can help you recover the data, they are the one. If after a resolution has been made you can then make a decision if whether you want to continue with them or move to a more secure host.

Have a website and it is not yielding as expected, you can decide to do hosting on other platforms or website to generate traffic which in turn would lead to you making money.

When things go bad? If you're using a particular domain for your e-commerce business and along the line you realize the website isn't getting much traffic again and your products ain't selling that much again. do you still stick to the same pattern or you change?

why should I stay with the host when I do not get the service I paid for, There are already a lot of hosting companies available in the market, you can go with any host that you think could be better.

Yes it is good idea to stick with hosting if you are with them for long time and no major issue as issue can be arise on any hosting company but if hosting company have their own problems than better to move somewhere else.

There are already a lot of options to choose from, why should I continue using the bad service. I am using namecheap and the moment they make changes and I don't like those changes, I will switch to another web host.

 

[Ralphjoe]

As far as I am concerned, the hosting service is not to be blamed when there is an attack on your website because as it is said it is an attack and no one can be better prepared against any form of attacks that they are not aware of.

Sometimes I have this feeling that I should change my host. The only reason is I have to pay for SSL on namecheap, which would be free if I go to hostgator.
