Hectic Online Hell!

[Nathan Thomas]

Ok, so today my main website, effectivehypnosis.com crashes because of, according to my techie, a billing error with the server.
Because pretty much everything at my blogsite, keystothemind.blogspot.com, is hosted at that site, it goes and crashes too, with both sites which i have given so much effort to in both providing content and an audience for, now just redirecting to some bizarre adsite.

I mean, i guess i have had my share of online bad luck in the past, with the IATH main site being hacked and various things crashing at various weird times, but this was just too much, i totally don't get how a blog, hosted at blogspot.com, could go totally down. The worse part was when i tried to access the control panel to edit this, i went and got redirected again.
Just too weird!

So i'm getting the word out however i can and assuring subscribers, friends and readers that all will eventually be back up and running soon, but for now, blimey this is just too annoying!
Especially at a time when i had just released a new free audio lesson.

As you can tell, i do not write this from a very good place, but i do like to extract a lesson from every bad situation, the lesson here is to always be prepared for the worst case scenario when dealing with the scary world of the internet, have in place back ups and plan bs to make sure that if one site does spring a leak the whole boat doesn't somehow explode.

I'll post here when this mess is sorted out, until then i would like to thank my readership for their patience and support.

Yours annoyidly (if that's even a word...)

Update two:
To my absolute disgust despite repeated assurances from the web people the page is still down.
I am putting all my efforts into hastening it's return, and i want to apologize again to all the people who are writing in saying the interviews, audios and newsletter they are after have disappeared.
This is being fixed, just a lot slower than i would have hoped, and i will find some way to turn this to our advantage and reward the patience and support of my readership and subscribers.
Let's hope the next update brings good news.

Thanks Joshua, actually that's probably right. Fortunatly that mp3 is also hosted on another sever so remains accessible.

That sucks, Nathan. I'm wondering, now that I've read this, if the problems with people being able to download the mp3 from the main link was an early warning sign of this problem ...

Update 1:
Ok, by playing around with some html i was able to save the blog (thank goodness!) an html rotator linked to the effectiveness.com server somehow triggered the redirect.
the main still is still AWOL at this stage.
