Thanks, Things would be totally diff if I never had to shut down / sell my sites back in 2007, and ever since then I've never really had the working capital to relaunch a new program / sites.
Long story short on that for those who might not remember....
For years I and others hosted with a company "Lelahosting" they CLAIMED and APPEARED to be a 100% legit hosting company with a datacenter, techs, support team etc etc
I personally paid for monthly backups and a dedicated server that hosted my paysite network, another server (shared) / (semi-dedi) was used for the program site and affil content / promos
All the sudden ALL the sites vanished, and wm boards were FILLED with people with the same issues, Long story short, Lelahosting was nothing more then a reseller who stopped paying their upstream, pocketed a shitload of money (they had a big sale the week before) and ALL of us lost pretty much everything, there were NEVER any backups like I paid for, etc etc etc
We managed to get the upstream provider to open up the boxes so we could TRY and get our data back, they gave us a 12 hour window to grab as much as we could, however they could not tell us WHEN those 12 hours would start or stop, I managed to get all of my content sets and tours, and some of my promo stuff, but ALL my custom backend scripts were lost or damaged.
In the end I had the choice of either starting over from scratch, risk loosing affils and damaging my name OR sell off and retire, I chose the later but the retire part never came lol.
Fast forward to today, and company 2 company sales are JUST not what they used to be, people are being allot tighter with their "purse strings" and what DOES sell is bulk cheap deals, and I can't work for 30 days to make a package and then sell it for $50.00 like some people would love me to do lol.
I would LOVE to relaunch a sponsor program and paysites and I know for a fact I could make a nice living for myself AND my affils, but without the money to pay the bills while I'm making the sites and promo stuff it's just not gonna happen.
