In an attempt to save money, I tried to move my website to what is called "Shared Hosting." Unfortunately due to a lot of customizations, made by me, it did not work. Soooo, I ended up returning back to my VPS.

There is a possibility that I may have lost an E-mail or two in the process. Feel free to resend the E-mail.

Shared hosting is where I share the computer with other people. If I make a really bad error, I can bring down everyone. It is inexpensive, but making customizations are not, readily, available.

VPS hosting, I own a part of the computer, all by myself. The computer has four or more people on the same computer. I own a part of that computer, the other people don't know each other, or me. Because I have access to everything on my part of the computer, I can go crazy with my own portion, without affecting anybody else. And if I really go too crazy and screw up my portion, it does not affect anyone else.

Nov 21, 20017: Storage shed door ripped of its hinges, garage door clasp cut in half. Both doors still had their locks engaged.

Nov 22, 2017: While trying to repair my security light, I fell. Right side screwed up.

Nov 28, 2017: While seeing my doctor for the injuries on the 22nd, a car plows through my from yard and wipes out my fence.

Enough?
