My last backup of the websites was in December 2011. The dude that was assigned to me was not helpful at all and said there was nothing to be done. So that day came, and I went straight to their support ticketing system. Because I considered paying $20 per month for simply hosting my files was enough, I didn’t enable the backup option (it was an extra $2 per month, if I remember correctly). The drop that spilled the cup came one day of February 2012, when all my websites (folders) were deleted somehow. After I was done, the server was running CentOS + nginx + PHP-fpm + MySQL, hosting my websites and Wordpress blogs. I busted my chops trying to configure a fast server. This company gives you a server as is and you have to install the OS by yourself, maintain it, improve its performance, etc. Prior to the cloud, I was hosting my websites on a VPS (Virtual Private Server) with a company called Linode. I was pissed at the hosting companies charging so much, having such crappy support, and much downtime. I did the switch out of impulse: I was pissed. I tried it as an experiment never for a second I thought it would work this well. A few months ago I cancelled my hosting and server accounts and moved all my websites to the cloud.
