So DataSpace got a new HDD in one of their servers (I found this out by reading the forums… no notification or anything). One would think that when swapping out a HDD that you would take an immediate backup of all the clients content. Needless to say, when I checked my site this morning it was missing about 3 weeks worth of content. I guess it’s a good thing I noticed something fishy happening yesterday because I happened to make my own backup yesterday, which has subsequently been put to good use and my blog is now back at the state it should be.

There wasn’t much additional content between now and 3 weeks ago, but that’s not really the point here; I guess when it comes to free hosting you get what you pay for, quite literally.

I’m not expecting sterling service, but I would appreciate an advisory notice or something; a lack of communication/notification/whatever is always something that annoys me, they quite remind me of another company that is quite fond of doing (read breaking) stuff without notification and leaving the clients in the dark… \*cough\* Uninet \*cough\*.
