It has come to my attention yesterday by one of my members that she could not view her site. Under further investigation, WordPress for some strange reason is not working for some sites. So far, I only found 5 sites and some of the WordPress files are coming up missing in their FTP. This is not happening to everyone who is using it. I’m not sure why WordPress is having issues. So my suggestion is (if your able to):

1. Go to your cpanel to choose the Backup Wizard and do a full back up.
2. Then Login to your WP Admin Page.
3. Go to Tools > Export (this is to get all your posts, comments, etc).
4. Go to Fantastico De Luxe in your Cpanel and delete your instillation of WordPress.
5. Make sure in your ftp that all WordPress files have been removed.

Once you have done that, then do the following to re install:

1. Login to your Cpanel.
2. Go to Backup Wizard to restore.
3. Then go to Fantastico De Luxe to re install WordPress.
4. Login to your WP Admin.
5. Go to Tools > Import.

Once you done all this, everything should be back to normal. Always make sure that you are upgrading WordPress when it calls for one. If you have any questions, just e-mail me and I’ll be glad to help.

However, this does not mean that I’m fully back to hosting at this time. I am still sick and trying to get better. I just don’t want to leave my members with unanswered questions. Thank you all for the comments!

As some of you know, I am sick. I have not responded to any hosting applications because of this. I have to go to the hospital this week to have a Lumbar Puncher (Spinal Tap) done to test for Meningitis which can without proper treatment can be deadly. I don’t know how I got it. They have tired twice to do it but cannot due to the discomfort I’m feeling so they need to sedate me the next time which is why I’ll be in the hospital and I haven’t been to work in 3 weeks.

So all applications, emails, giveaways are on hold for the time being. I hope to resume everything in a few weeks or so.

Yes, you heard me right. I finally was able to buy cbd-hosting.com. Whoever owned the domain had it for like 4 years and well I noticed in the whois that it was finally going into redemption status in March. So almost every-other day, I was just waiting for it to be released.

Then some company contacted me about buying the domain from them for like $100 which they wouldn’t of got from me. So I checked the whois again, and it was available. So now it’s mine finally after all these years! I knew that company was just trying to scam me. I wouldn’t of got it in the end. So now you can now access this site by .com and of course by .net as well.

On another note, I have already started giving out the prizes for the contest back in March, so if you have not received my e-mail and your one of the few people who won, you need to let me know.

As for my future projects, it was placed on hold due to the fact that I have been sick for almost 2 weeks and I was unable to do any computer work at that time. Specially not staring at the computer screen all day. Now that I’m feeling a little better, I can, but sadly, I have to go back to work. So I’m going to try this weekend.

Have a wonderful rest of the week everyone!

Edit: May 12th 2010 at 7:43pm – Unfortunately everyone, I am still sick and I will be in the hospital tomorrow and maybe the next few days. I’m trying to answer as many e-mails as possible before I have to leave. So bare with me.

I am working on a few projects in the background. As you can see, I will be adding a forum very soon and I’m still working on the blog/tutorial section. Now that I finally got my laptop, I can finish up these projects and get accounts set up faster.

I feel sorry for the people who were hosted under RigRag. Unfortunately, things like this happen but really, I didn’t see this coming. Well if anyone is looking for a good free host that has been running strong for 6 years, well you’ve come to the right place if your tired of paying for your hosting. If you know anyone that needs it, please tell them about CBD Hosting as well.
