Site Suspension: A Webmaster’s Nightmare

February 15th, 2008

When I was just starting to blog, I feared of two things: not being able to generate blog traffic and site suspension. I had managed to work on the first one since I am now getting a satisfying number of page views per day. The latter was my worry before I switched to paid hosting from WebHostingBuzz.com. I’ve had several site suspension before, and termination at some point when I was still hosted by free hosts. I’ve had several site migration. Somehow, I blame this mishaps why my main blog (jammedph.com) is not visible now in search engine rankings and Google bot stopped crawling it.

But when I switched to paid host, I thought site suspension will no longer be a problem. But imagine to my disappointment and nightmare when I saw my site last night with a suspension notice. According to the technical staff, some scripts I am running in my website was responsible for a resource abuse. Unexpectedly, the plugins installed in this blog caused all the problem. Problems like this is common in shared hosting where you share IP address with other hosted members.

I immediately contacted the billing department and I was grateful because of their prompt reply and unsuspended my account.

What did I learn from this incident?

1. Always do a blog backup. It was only these days that I always forget to backup my account. I was relying to much on my webhost to do all the backups for me which should not have been the case.
