...my website has been down for like a week. Not that it matters, because before it was down, visitors were receiving a security warning before they were allowed to click through. That's the same thing as having no website at all, because nobody is going to click through that.
Because Network Solutions wanted to charge me seven-hundred-and-something for an SSL certificate to fix the security issue - a benefit all the other hosting platforms offer for free - I finally had enough of them. I was off my feet anyway due to injury, so I had some time to make the switch.
So I migrated, but that has not been without its own headaches. Hostgator is the most economical choice but it's pretty self-serve, which is a hassle as I am not especially techie. More than that, there have been a number of technical issues. For days I wasn't receiving any email. then I was receiving some but not others, even from the same address. Now I'm getting bounceback notices for emails I didn't send! It's a fucking mess. It's not seven-hundred-and-something dollars worth of mess, but it's a mess all the same. I am in the chat with support right now. I've been in the chat with support every day since Friday.
That's why I haven't rebuilt my website - between these LOOOONG chat sessions trying to straighten out one problem after another, and my regular duties - class, Mom, studio - I have not had time.
I keep reminding myself: some people are in real crises. They are in war zones or their children are seriously ill, or their homes got destroyed in floods. This is not a crisis! This is an annoyance, one that will hopefully be resolved soon, after which I can get back to posting about pottery.
Thanks for your patience!
