Just to let y'all know I've just signed up at a new hosting company...this site won't most likely be moved until the end of June but at that point we'll be on new hardware with a better backup situation. The problem we had this week was exacerbated by the daily backup that we pay for not actually backing up things that apparently aren't very important. Like DATABASES. Luckily I had just run a manual backup of the forum database before I did the software upgrade so we are still in existence but the rest of our sites (premierschoolofmusic.com, markwein.com, markweinguitarlessons.com and lovehateguitar.com) are all unrecoverable toast. So much for spending $50 a month to protect against such inevitabilities. The new company actually does backups properly.
One small bonus is that our monthly bill is also going down a small amount from $169 to $150 a month. Yay
