I spent a few hours today setting up websites for a couple of clubs of which I am a member. They both use Google Sites to make things simple for others to administer.
One group is Hub City Toastmasters. You can visit that site at http://hctoast.rgvleaders.com.
The other group is Social Media Club RGV. You can visit that site at http://smcrgv.rgvleaders.com
I’ve been hosting with Godaddy for a while, maybe over 2 years. They used to be pretty good about taking care of stuff. In fact, they used to call me on occasion to make sure everything is OK. Something must have happened because they are just not able to take care of things as quickly as they used to. My hosting account went down for 3 days and according to customer service, it wasn’t even touched by the escalation team. Oh, and when they escalated, “it could take 24 to 72 hours”. Definitely not cool.
As a result, I decided to move my blog to WordPress.com and accept the themes available. I’m setting up hosting for other domains too, which is not exactly easy as I still have to deal with aliased domains to Godaddy servers. They also control my domains. I’m still trying to work with them. I purchased another hosting with Godaddy to get around waiting for their tech monkies to take care of my problem, but that’s not working either. If the problem is not resolved by tonight, I’ll have no choice other than to host elsewhere. It sucks when I’m forced to move my account elsewhere because of an “internal” problem over at Godaddy. I’m not really angry about it; shit happens. Rather, I’m pressed for time; I can’t stand around waiting for Godaddy to recover their fumble.
