Hello Everyone! If you have been trying to visit our site over the last week or so and received a message saying that it was not found here is why: It’s a long story but I’ll try to make it brief. About 9 months ago I moved Educators At Home to a new more robust server. The person I was leasing the server from sold me a years worth of hosting which I paid for in advance.
Well, last week the server went down and I thought it had crashed and needed a reboot. Well turns out that the person did not pay for the server and they shut us down. I tried desperately to get the service reinstated, but this is where the story gets very convoluted. The person I purchased our hosting from was sub leasing from a company called “Wild West Hosting” who sub leases from a company in Chicago. After hours and hours of tracing IP’s and hosting companies I was told that “because I wasn’t the original person who set up the account, I could not get my data back because technically it did not belong to us.” Unfortunately, all of our system backups were on the server and not local; big mistake. I’ve been rebuilding the site from an old backup I had locally that was about 9 months old. This has been a learning experience for me as I’ve had to custom build MySQL database files to make the old backup compatible with the newest version of Word Press.
