What the Heck?

So on Sunday, without any warning at all, Bluehost (my web host) gave me the boot.  I wouldn’t have even known they gave me the boot until a reader emailed me with concern about my blogs.  They told me they couldn’t handle my blogs and that they were causing to many queries so they took them offline.  They never offered a warning, support or even a upgrade option….just POOF!  They told me I had 2 weeks to transfer everything before it’s all deleted.

Since then, I have switched to HostGator and am trying to get everything transferred.  I have heard nothing but good about them and so far my experience has been excellent.  This is the only blog that is working so please bear with me folks!!!

I am so sorry for this.  I had many unsubscribe already and I hope I can win you all back!!!!  DON’T LEAVE ME!!!

About A Cowboy's Wife

35 year old Problogging Mom of 3 boys; Tyler (18), Toby (15), and Truett (5). Married 18+ years to a real cowboy... After 4 years of blogging, I merged my founding blog A Cowboy's Wife into My Wooden Spoon to simplify my online persona, to give me more time offline with my family, which I have now 'unmerged'. You can find me on my personal Facebook page, My Wooden Spoon's FB page, and Twitter, always.

    Were you using a free site? I’ve been told the best is to secure your info on one you own.

  2. A Cowboy's Wife says:

    No it wasn’t a free site. It was a paid web host.

    Lori, I’m so sorry you had to go through this. You work so hard on your blogs. What a bunch of garbage from them. I hope Host Gator treats you right, and good luck getting everything put back together. I’m sure you’ll be fine with your subscribers.

    I’m still here! So sorry this happened to you. That was not very nice of them. What would I do if your blog disappeared???????

  10. Anne says:

    Things happen for a reason! All will be well!

  11. cady says:

    i was wondering what had happened to you! i’ve never heard of a host doing that before either, but i’ve also been hearing bad things about bluehost recently. most of the people i know who were using bluehost have switched to hostgater and love it.

  12. chrystal says:

    I wondered what happened………weird. I’m not leaving!

  13. Rita J says:

    I will not leave you. A Pox on Bluehost!

  14. jules p says:

    I was wondering where you were. But I did not know how to email you. Glad you are back up. I needed a recipe from you.:)

  15. Brittany says:

    BAD Bluehost!! I’m not leaving and I need to subscribe!

  16. Jessica says:

    It was clear to me from the moment I noticed you were not online that it was only going to be temporary. Don’t worry – most will roll with the tide!

  17. Susan C says:

    I’m not going anywhere! I hope everything works out for you. It’s always something isn’t it?

  18. Heather says:

    I wondered, but thought it was just a temporary glitch. Ridiculous of them to just drop you and not let you know!! Glad you are gonna be around for a while longer! ;)

  19. Khlo says:

    Sorry for your troubles but not to worry I would follow you and your spoon any where. Good luck with this process and try to have a good day any way.
