What do you do when your Web Site Hosting Company closes?

This week we learned about the closing of HIT Web Design and hosting in Provo, Utah. After 972 Better Business Bureau complaints against their company it was probably the right decision. However, what if you’re one of their clients who depend on their servers to host your website. You’re probably wondering what to do to make sure your business is not impacted.

  1. Back up all of your website files and databases.
  2. If you currently only use webmail to check your email, setup a desktop email client such as Microsoft Outlook or Mac Mail and download all of your email.
  3. If your current company is known to run unauthorized charges against credit cards then change your credit card immediately to prevent them from charging you one more time before you get away.

If you don’t know how to back up your website or configure a desktop email client feel free to contact us and we’ll be glad to assist!
