Well, after my website being down for nearly a month; we are back!!!!
So, what happened? Well, the web is increasingly going toward having to use SSL to connect to websites that want to have a good reputation with ranking services, such as Google, etc. The reason is for increased security. So, being a bit ahead of the curve, I experimented beginning two years ago with getting an SSL certificate. Unfortunately, I failed to notice that it was about to expire about a month ago, and I did not see any notice from my provider.
So, the SSL certificate expired. No big deal, right? Just buy another one, right? Well, normally, I would have thought so. Would you believe it took me nearly this whole month to get one installed? Unfortunately, my hosting service, HostGator, which used to be a very highly rated service several years ago, has fallen way low in service. Mind you, the actual hosting goes fine as long as there are no problems. But, if there are problems, lots of luck. Here is the worst part. I do not have a “private” account. I have a business account. So, if you are a business, you could lose some significant income.
But, I am back, for better or for worse.
