I ended up shifting to Web hosting hub; which gave me a better deal.\u00a0 Now, with that being said, this was a learning experience for me! I learned the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t just copy your Joomla database, export them (if anyone knows how to recover the data from the db file, let me know!) to another file using PHPAdmin; very important.<\/li>\n<li>Every one of the four Joomla websites is down hard&#8230;very hard.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t go offshore, demand a customer service center here in the US of A.\u00a0 One provider (with another domain I maintain) is from a European country, service sucked, and another company, SiteGround was less than impressive when it came to customer support; I will never deal with them again either.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So, what am I going to do?\u00a0 I am going to take a step away from Joomla, and attempt to use WordPress as my website proper.\u00a0 I know I am losing some functionality, but I feel it may be a better venue for what I&#8217;m attempting to accomplish. I have two other websites that I&#8217;m in the process of rebuilding also, and I think I&#8217;m going to go back to a static style of website for each.\u00a0 I&#8217;ll post links to them after the sites are finished.<\/p>\n<p>Now, don&#8217;t get me wrong, I still think Joomla is a fantastic little thingy&#8211; I just don&#8217;t think that it meets my need at this time, we&#8217;ll see what the future holds.<\/p>\n<p>All right then boys and girls; let&#8217;s be safe out there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good morning!\u00a0 As you can see (for my two fans that pay attention) my website has been down for a couple of months while I searched for a more &#8220;affordable&#8221; service provider.\u00a0 Bluehost was great, but at ~$7.00 a month, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/dansdigitaldive.com\/web\/archives\/13\">Continued<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"kt_blocks_editor_width":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[9,8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-computing","category-life"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":814,"url":"https:\/\/dansdigitaldive.com\/web\/archives\/814","url_meta":{"origin":13,"position":0},"title":"How do you organize your bills?","author":"DR D","date":"December 13, 2012","format":false,"excerpt":"Ok...I admit it; I have a problem.
