I've been trying to alter the website for my iPhone repair business I'm trying to start, and my web developer-who is under TREMENDOUS pressure because he's one of the few competent web site designers in NorCal, thus everybody wants a piece of him-sent me a revision that had a couple big mistakes. No problem, take your time dude. And THEN he said "your website does not work, please send correct url". So I said WTF, and sure enough, can't find server. Network Solutions claims they're being DDoS'ed, but the truth is much worse:

Yep, Wordpress and Java holes used to install malware on third party sites. My dir was clean, thank god. So everything is down while they fix it. No website for me.

Everything I do to make money fails. My social media page evaluation website failed, no interest. Nobody wanted to hire me to do computer repairs. And now I can't get this off the ground. I have a ton of debt that bankruptcy didn't wipe out. (My mom's name is on the loan. Fortunately, the amount goes down instead of up with each payment.) So I get screamed at on the survival forum as a leech who should die. Fine, no problem.

Does that surprise you? Life's only purpose is to suck!

I too tried to make money on the internet and did everything. My advice would just be to switch hosts, and get that dang site up! Don't let something like NS being hacked keep you from your dreams. You can do amazing things if you keep at it.

The web developer got back to me quickly. The site is now up. I discovered that I can paste the source into notepad, and then change text, then save as html. I will do that in the future.

Now I have to wait for it to show up on Google. :/

You can speed up the showing of it on google by using the google webmaster tools. Look into it. Its free.
