I had some dispute with Hostgator over a small billing issue which I had my check cashed but the funds not credited over to my billing, and they suspended me despite the protest I made. Though it was a miserable $9.95, but it’s still money to some, and hassle for me.

Anyway, I had been Offline from PayPerPost…PERMANENTLY, which is actually great news for some people, but like I said, I make better earnings than that somewhere else. The main issue lies right now is with the data corruption I have on hand. Which is something a bore for a technical person like me.

What should have happened was @ Every Weekend, the Database will pack itself into a huge compressed SQL Archive for me to OFFLOAD to another server which is made for redundancy purposes (See Round Robin Load Balance :: Ref to Open Structure Planning) which did happen to me often, as I have huge Memory and CPU loads when I have a festive Promotion going about.

SO the Database will Backup, pack itself and uploaded to the SYNCH CORE, Which is an UPLOAD SCRIPT. Knowing that PHP Limits files uploaded on the PHP.INI to 8MB, so a GZiped file will load up just nicely, a 52MB will be fully compressed to 3MB of files.That will then UNPACK to the backup database ready to flip at any moment.

In Actual fact, Server A will backup to B-C-D-E and each server have a DNS Record and Files ready to flip open at any moment.

My Locations: Server A in Florida, Server B in Dallax, TX, Server C in San Jose California, Server D is located in BT Telecom House, London and Server E is located at home…nicely tight ..in Kulim TechnoCity , Malaysia, just offside out of Intel R&D Offices.

So..something did went wrong..and my Wordpress Blog of Azrin.NET is OFF SYNC, so a few posts and Comments were eaten up by a crocodile..somewhere…..but never the less, DNS FLIP was a real quickie.

One Lesson Learnt…Never pay a hosting package with a Check~
