I’m feel little bit frustrated today when one of my websites is unavailable due to the server is down. The reason given is due to the file system is corrupted. But I can’t really understand why it should take quite sometime, and furthermore it happen twice, last night and this morning when the number of visitors normally higher. I work in IT background as well, and if this kind of situation happens, normally the production will be fail over to backup or disaster recovery server to restore the functionality as soon as possible. At the mean time the corrupted server can be fixed off line without affecting the productivity. Simple!!

With the cost of server cheaper nowadays, I’m can’t really understand why this thing can happen. I’m never operating any web hosting company but I know the server price pretty much from my subscription to several newsletters from several computer companies around.

All in 1?

As I plan to move all my websites into 1 web hosting company, I’m asking my self is this is correct move. If this situation happens in future, I will lose all my websites which means no revenue. The situation maybe different if I host my website with establish web hosting company oversees such as Hostgator, but since I just operate less than 1 year, the fee maybe a little bit higher.

Having only 1 web hosting company is better in terms of managing them, but as I have mentioned above, the situation could be worst if wrong web hosting company were chosen. I do want to know what you think. Or if you have encountered the same situation in the past, let share it here. At the mean time, I’m also looking affordable but trustable web hosting company around. Hope I choose the correct one this time. Chill out!!
