Why Hosting is Important and Bluehost.com Sucks!!

I been using bluehost.com for over a year and things been relatively smooth.  Although, I am not one of the most techies cats around, I can maneuver myself around my hosting account and get things done.  Well I was recently hotlinked on one of my proxies hosted at tmzhosting.com (Very great host for proxies) and it that cost me some dough cause I had to upgrade to a higher package before they end up closing down my sites for going over my bandwidth limits.  So me being the smarty that I am, I decided that if it can happen to one of those sites, then it could happen to the ones I have hosted here.  I go into my hosting account and it had a section called HOTLINKING, all I had to do was click one button and all of my accounts would be safe from hotlinking.  Well I tired it but I received an error message and instead of trying to read about this and that, I decided to leave it alone, and plus I only use 1% of my bandwidth anyways.  I am in my account every day, so I would catch it if it happens.

Oh,  what is hotlinking you might ask?   Well….. it’s when you have a website and some idiot wants to add audio, video, or image content to their site and instead of dowloading and uploading them, they use an image code such as <img scr="http://www.punkass.com/not-my-image.jpg"> to link it to thier site or another site like porn forums, warez sites, etc.   Just imagine a random dude plugging his joints into your electrical socket, using your electricity without your concent on your dime, bogish huh!!

I digress, well the next day I go to make a post and I can’t see my banner, so I go to another one of my sites, same thing, another site, same thing.  Seems as if all of my headers are messed up, must be easy to fix right, WRONG!!!  I call up the tech dude at Bluehost, and it sounds like he is eating a ham sandwich and watching olympic highlights on youtube on the other end.  He asking me questions about SQL and php and the difference between the longituditanal epolotic amplitude blah, blah, blah.  I was like DUDE!!!  You not speaking to Bill Gates, this me,  Bruh Man from the 5th floor, dumb this sh-t down for me please!!  So, after about 20 min. of this, he finally tells me that he will write a ticket to get this fixed, WELL GOLLY GEE THANKS!!  So now my blog looks like a ghetto mess as I am trying to build my brand name, lol, thought I would sound like one of the Pro internet marketers for once.  Now, If I don’t get this problem fixed by end of business today, all virtual hell will break loose, hehe..

Holla..
