Its happened before-just wondering if it was only me really. Hope its fixed soon. I dont think they are erased, because in the cPanel side bar thing with all of the statistics of usage etc. it still says i'm using 3 of 3 mysql databases, but when I click mysql, it says there are none-so they're there somewhere. :nuts:

Hey you're right, they are still listed there.. I was just afraid =( luckily i installed the JoomlaPack Component and backed it up.. so just in case.

I certainly like x10hosting, actually planning on getting a paid account probably within the next couple weeks, just had some questions about the bandwidth before I buy one.

I have this paranoia of just this happening. I don't care if files are lost, but if databases are lost, thats the end for me! Probably becuase I dont really know much about them so I avoid them. I think they are probably tweaking cpanel and its confused everything. I have Joomla too, but take manual backups.

I'm considering the 'Double everything' option. No monthly fee, seems simple.

I owned space on another server before.. I've been doing this since I was 15 actually lol, it seems x10hosting's prices are extremely reasonable, probably like 45 dollars for a year, not too bad. I actually left a post earlier, it seems the Free hosting must be shared, which slows down connection speed at user level.. it's caused a lot of time outs recently. I've been trying to figure out from anyone who has or has had paid hosting whether connection speeds are more reliable.

I dont really want to be tied down with a monthly fee, I like it easy. But x10 seems to have the best hosting rates out there. I'm running a community site, that relies heavily on mysql, so a bit more disk space would be nice, and a few more databases. I should think the free aspect of it would slow down client-side connections, as so many people would misuse this free service, and it would cause knock on effects for the genuine users like us. People who are gonna misuse it arent going to pay for it, so in theory, paid hosting would be more reliable.

I usually just pay the 46 dollars or whatever it would be right away then renew it a year later.. a few years ago before I had a credit card I was using my pops' and I had paid a year, then noticed it was on auto renew for 2 more years.. about 2 days after it renewed.. I will say pops was not happy less $160 =(

Gotta make sure auto-renew is disabled that's what I say to anyone buying web hosting.

My SQL is down for me on lotus also. The cpanel states that the number of databases is correct (x/3), but when clicking on MySQL nothing is shown
