James Mowery of the Performancing Blog writes about the mistakes he has made since becoming a pro blogger. James shares the tragic tale of how something went awry with the company where he chose to host his blog. The company changed servers and restored a 4 month old backup. Suddenly, James lost the previous 4 months of work he had put into his blog. He writes:
This mistake could probably be explained in another way: maybe, just maybe, all I need to realize is that I got what I paid for. I got ripped off, but I did, in fact, receive what I paid for. I tried going to cheap route, and it came back to haunt me. It was a huge and costly mistake.
Solution: Always test backups and sign with a reliable hosting company.
I often read blog posts written for people who want to either become a pro blogger OR who want to use their blog as a marketing tool for their businesses. If either of these are what you have in mind when you launch your blog, begin with choosing the absolute BEST hosting you can afford!!!

Really this is essential for any site whether ecommerce, blog, etc. I have had way too many people I know not have successful sites since the servers are down frequently. Choose your server wisely!
