I had a client whose site went offline for a few days through no fault of their own. They called me one afternoon in a panic, wanting to know if our developer had taken down their site for some reason. I assured them that my in-house developer would never pull a site down for any reason—your website is your business and your livelihood! As a business owner, I understand the damage that can be inflicted from having your site offline for a few hours; a few days can be disastrous! It turned out my client’s hosting company (a cheap, overseas service) had suspended their site for what remains an unknown reason. It took days of phone calls and emails before we finally got in touch with a human representative from the company and got my client’s site back online.
