We started our online business back in 1997 and we had no idea of what website hosting was. After doing research and talking to several tech savvy individuals we figured out why we needed website hosting. Then the daunting task of finding the right host started. Back in 1997 there was a handful of companies providing hosting for small business's at affordable prices. After about two weeks of doing research we finally picked a hosting company. We had a developer and website designer build our small business website and finally had it up and running. Two months into our up and running time of our website the hosting company had a hardware issue on the server that we had our website hosted on and we lost all our website content, data, design, and everything needed to keep our site running. We thought we were lucky by purchasing website backup service from the company. We paid a ton of money to have our site backed up every night. Well, the hosting company was not backing up our site and we lost our business overnight. We complained to the company and we got nowhere. They simply did not care as they were growing and making money. Unfortunately we lost our first online business because of an incompetent hosting company.
