GoDaddy Goofed

When they upgraded us last week, they didn't set the IP address correctly. So today, when their system updated, we got knocked offline. Now that we're back, we've lost everything back to last Saturday. :furious:

Ugh!

A board backup ran (successfully) yesterday. Today's failed. I'm tempted to call them to restore that backup, but my fear is that we'd lose more than where we are now.

So what you're saying is that we haven't lost to the Cardinals?

We didn't lose to the Redskins either, then. Because same thing happened after week 1.

Do you think it'd be worth it to see if that would be the case?

That seems like a pretty stupid mess up by them

Well, I just got off the phone. We tried to restore a backup from yesterday (the 23rd). It failed. They nearly insisted that it worked and we were back to what it was yesterday, but if that was the case, this thread wouldn't even exist because it was created today, and restoring the backup would have erased this from existence. 

Anyway, we have to notch it up to experience, like back in September. 

This leaves me having zero faith in their backup/restore capabilities, though. So I'll have to try to figure out a new plan for backups and restoring a backup, if the need ever comes up.

Is there another place we can go to?

My next choice would be Invision, but they tend to be pretty expensive. Self hosting is an option that I've contemplated, but I can't even begin that process right now and the initial costs would be higher than I'd want to go with (building a dedicated server, installing a business internet connection and then having a backup server to store site backups in case the server blew up). 

After the new year, I'll explore Invision. But I think the more realistic option is for me to just manually download the GoDaddy backups and store them here. Then if I have to restore, I can but from past experience, it's not a fast option (for restoring) and if anything can go wrong, it will go wrong lol. 

Let's just get this season over with and into 2021 and then I'll begin looking at options.

I suggest drafting the backup in the 2nd Round.

I'd only want to go that route if 100% all else fails. I can download the backups and if worse comes to worst and we have to do a disaster restore, I can do it. It just may be a task that would take hours at best, days at worst (depending on various things, like what I have going on here and if I can devote time to it). 

For now though, I encourage everyone who has a Twitter account to follow  @EaglesMsgBoard

That's the Twitter account for the board... and is generally inactive but in cases like this, I can go there and let everyone know what's going on.

Oh, and I renamed this thread to 'GoDaddy' from 'I hate GoDaddy' because GoDaddy was going to be on the board and I didn't want to piss them off and have the site deleted... :ph34r:
