Ion Web Services announces shutdown

By
Real Estate Agent with Harvest Realty

I received an e-mail from Ion Web Services that announced a shutdown of services in 30 days.  In this day and age, you never know whether or not an e-mail is a legitimate message or whether somebody was hacked.  So I did send them a message and they did confirm that it is legitimate.

Since so many e-mails end up in spam folders or lost in the sea of so many messages, I was concerned that some people might be missing this important message.  They did assure me that the message would be sent out again at a reasonable interval to inform those who might have missed it the first time.  It is sad to see them shutting down.  They have always been very prompt in answering questions, in those few instances when support was needed.

They have left instructions for backing up the content so that it can be transferred to another host.  You can find those instructions at the link: hostfor3.com   That link also contains information about a low cost hosting service that provides multiple domains, wordpress and other open source applications.

If you are currently using Ion Web Services as your hosting service, it is very important to take action quickly to move your content to another hosting provider.

Wow how sad for those of you with sites on that server! Good luck with the move.

For those who received the e-mail, there was time to prepare.  Some people found out when their websites and e-mail stopped working.  The lesson for everybody is to have an independent back up of websites and blogs.
