Hello,
The summer of 2007 was not without problems with Internet.
Seems that hackers and consorts weren't in vacations.
Provider 1:
One of my sites was defaced (which isn't lamvo.com). I spent the whole August to reinstall it, and by the same occasion improve a little bit.
The problems are that I have too much confidence with my web hosting service. They are good and very helpful. But one should take care to backup everything, as far as on can, and keep one backups local.
Hopefully the online databases were in good conditions, so I was able to export them. With those data, I was able to reconstruct bit by bit, with what I have on my local systems.
Be sure to read the way the online backup is done, its frequency etc..
Be sure to look at the new conditions, which arise from time to time, due to the very fast pace of changes, be them technical or others.
Provider 2:
With LAMVO site, I have had bad issues. When I have had problems with the web site, only there I took steps to hunt down the problems, it turns out that I wasn't able to access my databases, as the later have been installed by my web host services provider, a year ago. Well, as I didn't notice any major problems with what I have done upto now, I thought that the databases where taken care by the provider.
Surprise, no one knows how to access those database servers (admins). At least not anymore. Maybe the administor(s) have left the enterprise.
Some months back, the service provider of LAMVO.COM, have upgraded the hosting strategy, with quite a lot of free goodies, and a new control panel, such as install automatically for me (if asked), useful packages as such nucleus, joomla, wordpress, postnuke and a lot more. And now, they put them with databases alloted to me (e.g, I can access my databases and manage them). Thank you, provider. A very good point.
Conclusions:
That's life. Speedy. There good sides and bad ones as well. Just be aware.
Even my local Windoze has had problems, by caughting viruses, even though I have had an commercial antivirus made by a well known company.
The brand of antivrus was not able detect the problems. It's clamwin which was able to find one of those nasty things !
Hopefully, I don't rely entirely on Windoze, but use heavily linuxes. On the same machine, with dedicated hard drives.
No one is perfect.
Webally speaking, it is really a playground for genial bastards.
I am for developing defence tools, but not for utter controls, 1984 fashion.
If one wants to look at the website, just facelifted, here is the link:
