Casual Articles - What I Learned When My Server Crashed
When it comes to business there is a whole lot of lingo out there that can be confusing. One example is that of a franchise or a licensed business opportunity. Anyone looking for business opportunities must understand what a franchise is and what a licensed business opportunity is. This brief overview will help you understand the differences.First of all, a franchise is simply a business model that has been proven to be effective. The franchisor who created this business model will then sell you the rights to use the business model as well as the services or goods that particular sy
-My forum regulars weren’t lost for long, and having a fresh install wasn’t so bad. Obviously any search engine traffic and earnings from forum pages were cut of temporarily.
-My ranking didn’t budge at all. Spare the unlikely chance you crash during a major Google update, and can’t get your site back online before it’s done, your site rank should be OK too.
-My Adsense revenue did go down, but it wasn’t a total bust. The month before the crash I had an increase in Adsense revenue, and for a month or so after the crash that increase had reverted back to the old normal with a few pathetic days mixed in.

If there is one thing that we are being told to do with our websites is to add new content. While this is easy said, how can you add quality useful content on a regular basis? Most small businesses are one or two people companies who are trying to do everything all at the same time. Adding a web page every day to their website is real hard work and sadly is not seen as a business priority.If you are stuck in this rut and haven't updated your website for a while, it might be time to add some user generated content facilities.User generated content simply put, is allowing yo
1. Back ups are lifesavers, if done correctly
I had fairly recent or full back ups (on my PC and CD-RW) of all the sites I’ve designed, a handful of which belong to clients and not myself.
I ended up reworking a few recent changes, like content deletions I had made in the weeks prior.
There were glitches, despite all of my precautions. For example, I had depended solely on CPANEL for my forum database backup. Apparently the database had grown so large that when downloading the daily back up some of the database had been cut off. Large pieces of the forum database were lost.
Now I know to back up in multiple forms, like:
a) Structure only and data only.
Tip: Prune the data regularly to avoid mega-sizing your databases.
b) Compressed and not compressed.
c) Software/browser back up and CPANEL back up.
d) Table-specific back ups on larger databases (especially for USERS table!)
e) Saved files (incl. install files) for software, mods, and scripts that you use, including their MySQL and Admin username/passwords.
f) Full site back ups and home directory back ups.
Since the crash I keep all the above back ups, almost in an obsessive compulsive way. It may sound like a bit much, but you can create a back up schedule that’s near foolproof and bandwidth frugal. You won’t need to back up in every single way, every single day. Each site will have different needs when it comes to backups.
2. Not everyone backs up!?!
It’s true that webhosts back up their drives, usually every night. However, in our server nightmare, their back up was corrupted by an employee of a company they outsource to. The poor fellow ended up shattering that server-backup, which a few unfortunate webmasters had been counting on.
As long as you’re planning on having a website presence, it’s almost guaranteed that at some point you will have a server crash. Get in the “safe keeping” habit, before it’s too late and you end up missing your site(s), or having forty angry clients calling you and demanding their (forever lost!) websites be “up and running pronto!”
3. Spread your sites out on more than one webhost
I heard Jodie Lynn (http://www.parenttoparent.com/) recommend this on WAHM Talk Radio (http://www.wahmtalkradio.com/), but I put it off. It would have been a little less stressful if only half of the sites I manage went down with that crash. I’ve finally listened to Jodie’s advice.
4. When it happens, stay calm
Our websites were down for 12-24 hours, and in a few cases 36 hours as I moved some sites to a different host. I worried about my regular site visitors, Google ranking, Adsense, and the long haul of getting it all pieced together again.
The Aftermath:
-My forum regulars weren’t lost for long, and having a fresh install wasn’t so bad. Obviously any search engine traffic and earnings from forum pages were cut of temporarily.
-My ranking didn’t budge at all. Spare the unlikely chance you crash during a major Google update, and can’t get your site back online before it’s done, your site rank should be OK too.

It seems to appear to the newcomer that it is very easy to generate an income on the web as there are thousands of sites claiming you can make a lot of money in a very short space of time. There are proven legitimate online businesses available where it is possible to earn a large income, but it does not happen overnight. If you are new to the internet do not be sucked in with all the hype, as you will be throwing money down the drain and setting yourself up for disappointment.Starting your own online home business requires that you are prepared to make quite a few adjustments.

Today, the economy is growing. But, that means little to individuals who are looking for jobs. Because it is very hard to find a good quality job that is in the field of your study, it takes real dedication to get in. Not only is it a lot of pressure from this front, but for parents who are looking for the right way to steer their children as well. There are fields we know are growing, and then there are those that are falling. But, the real importance is finding the jobs that everyone wants and being better than everyone else.Your first step is starting young. Sure, you have colleg

The popularity of reverse lookup searches and the like has led to much assumption of the part of the consumer. Web-based companies are all-too happy to reach out to web surfers blinded by the desire for instant gratification. Normally all they have to show for their impulsiveness is an empty wallet and a useless subscription to "unlimited" nonsense.The need for information was both filled and created by the Internet. The closely held belief that everything is available in cyberspace is a dangerous wave that many web firms ride all the way to shore. And they are not going to let

The Situation - Career Prospects And Expectations“Destiny is not a matter of chance but of choice. Not something to wish for, but to attain” - Williams Jennings Bryan1. New/Young employees often come in with high expectations but sometimes encounter harsh realities when things don’t go as the expected. They wonder what it would take to succeed in the organization, but find no one ready to tell/show them. Some search for help from bosses/seniors, books etc. Others give up.2. Old/Experienced employees have been around for a while/passed throug

I had to step away from the computer for a couple hours to catch my breath and pray in the name of [mankinds Saviour] Christ that it would work out. After praying to God I had a sense of peace as I started reconstructing the websites.
The crash, or more so the actions I had to take afterward, actually increased my confidence in my own God-given abilities. I had a list of items to restore and/or fix, and with each cross out my mood improved. I also gained the knowledge to make sure a system restore would flow easier if it happens again. The day after the crash ended up being a highlight of that month, like a kid striking out at bat every inning and than hitting a homer in the bottom of the 9th. The dreaded “server crash” wasn’t so dreadful after all.
