ohkellygirl Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I FINALLY got my website up and running as of 9-14 through Freewebs.com. I paid for the Premium mebership for 1 year as well. Ever since Wednesday morning, I have not been able to access Freewebs or my site www.scentsbydiane.net Dh has been IMing support personnel to help fix my problem and its going no where. They told Dh that "99.99 of our customers can access their sites." Well guess what...I STILL CAN'T! I would like to know how I can go about transferring my site somewhere else...and where do you recommend? I have a craft show next weekend and I NEED MY SITE! I'm so frustrated...I can't even tell you all:angry2: Thank you for any help you can give me!Diane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobinInOR Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Since it's been since Wed, I think you've gotten caught in the Level 3/Cogent battle.http://news.zdnet.com/2100-1035_22-5891156.htmlIf so, not much you can do besides move to something that doesn't have anything to do with those 2 internet routing companies.

StacysScentsations(DH) Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 it is up now. When choosing a web host you should make sure they have multiple carriers with redundant lines. I know it is probably greek to most but it is important. As someone mentioned the level3/cogent. Level3 owns the lines and shares with cogent with level3 being the premium bandwith provider and cogent being the economy. But this is not redundant as they are both on the same network. So a host that has level3 / verio is a multiple carrier so if level 3 goes down or even get congested the network itself will switch to verio if it is faster. I have had customers come from freewebs but I will tell you when I started out and went to school for this that is what we used because for inexpensive type hosting hey are one of the best. Mny businesses start out using them and then as the online part of the business grows they move on to a more robust host with more features and such. I hope I didnt confuse you to much.

Indescent Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Hi Diane!Your site is very nice, you might want to nix the falling leaves and opt for a more seasonal opening image. Personally as a consumer, I find it annoying for a business to have a lot of floating or blinking graphics-- it is very distracting, especially on the main page.

StacysScentsations(DH) Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 I usually dont like falling stuff as it is distracting but one way to appease most visitors and your kids would be to load that script right after the <BODY> tag so it will be behind the tables that include your text and not in front. If your tables have a wide enoough area or your page has margins try to make the table bg color white and you will see them around the edges of the page.

illuminations Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 I have a website on freewebs. I just have the free one, not the premium and have received my first order over the weekend. I haven't had any problems with the website at all. Hope you get it straightened out..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
