Sorry for the downtime. My site went down for a few days. My account got terminated from my other host because apparently, my site uses too much resources and was overloading their systems. Numerous messages were exchanged in hopes that they could pin point which exact site was causing the issue and overloading the system (since I have many domains), but they said:

“I apologize about the frustrations with your account, but because we are unable to sift through your site’s code, we do not have a way of identifying the specific cause of the load on our servers.”

Well, that’s just peachy. So how on earth is my site overloading your system? Of course a quick Google search about what can causing system overloads turned up that sometimes themes or plugins with wordpress can cause this. I didn’t touch, install, or do anything to some of my sites for months besides a new post here or there. I tried to correct it with how they suggested and reduce it, and was willing to help in anyway I could. In the end, they just decided to terminate it. Ugh.

So that made me have to find a new home, which I happily did with HostGator. I am really happy with my choice so far. The tech support is AMAZING. Anything I needed help with, they helped me fix it! Plus, I messed up on my sign up which stirred a lot of problems with the billing and what not, but they were able to get it fixed and ready to go after a simple live chat conversation.

I’m monitoring my account very carefully now and checking the usage via Cpanel. I don’t want to cause my new hosting company to have system overloads either.

I’ve been bringing my sites and those of friends/family that I host up one by one in hopes of finding the culprit. Even have WP Super Cache installed on all which was suggested before my previous host terminated my account. I have also been removing themes & plugins that are not in use and trying to simplify themes I have on my domains just in case.

Well, toodles for now!!
