Down Blogs

by admin on July 19, 2009

Two blogging friends of mine just told me that their blogs are currently down… since last night.

Scary, isn’t it? Especially since they are earning from those blogs that even a few hours of downtime is a big no-no for them. They wouldn’t tell me which hosting company they are with, so I just told them to consider transferring to a new one if this situation becomes a regular occurrence.

I have experienced that problem (not with this blog) and my problem is that I endured it for a couple of months. But when there was one week when my site was down for like 3 days, I decided it was the last straw. With the help of a dear friend, I transferred my blog to my current hosting firm. And so far everything’s been good.

I may not be a full-time, professional blogger but I understand the importance of a site being up all the time. Blog visitors, especially the new ones are naturally impatient people. They will not tolerate a site that loads too long or a site that’s having down times. They will gladly and instantly turn to other blogs, or just hit the back button of their browsers.
