Dude. I’ve been (happily) with HM for about five years, and I had *no idea* they could do that! Go HM!

p.s. I was with Dreamhost before HM, and quit them because their downtime was getting nuts. They continued to try and bill me for my various domains—which I had long since transferred—for almost two years.

And that sinking feeling that comes over you when you’ve *just* realized what happened? That chill that rushes down your spine as your eyes go wide in disbelief, just before you can even speak?

Yeah, that feeling and I are old friends.

Now excuse me. I gotta back up my site.

Oh, I HATE that! Usually instead of the touchpad getting me, I’ll overwrite another file by accident, and then do the movie slo-mo “noooooooooooo!”

oh totally. And when you said you “backup your client sites” I wasn’t sure if you meant via template revisions or the good old fashion backup way...so I had to comment anyway

@mel: oh, I won’t hit you for saying that. The sad thing? It’s the first thing I set when doing a client’s job (which I’m sure it’s yours as well — I would die if I had to eat those hours). I just had my head up my ass.

I immediately put in a feature request for default template revisions ON and was backed up by a bunch of people, so hopefully we’ll see that in the next release. I can understand wanting to streamline, but what’s the harm in having like, 5 revisions by default, you know? It makes much more sense to turn them off rather than on out-of-the-box if that is your preference.

you can hit me for saying this, but…”save template revisions” is your friend. LIKE SO MUCH!

@chepooka: yes, I know you feel my complete horror on that one. HOR-ROR. And mostly, I was just mad at myself for being so utterly careless.

@joz: I am not a DreamHost fan. Never have been. I know people who go on and on about how great they are, but frankly, I’ve built many a site on their servers and find them to be slow and finicky.

@DJ: Back up! Back up! Go go!

@Peggy & Robyn: All Hail Hosting Matters!
