My blog provider closed down all blogs!!
 

Hi,

I am a bit stressed and annoyed. My free blog provider Pornblink.com closed down all blogs without any notice. The blog worked on Saturday and today, Monday, it's gone, together with all pornblink blogs.

Now, I am new to this business but this can't be normal, can it?? Shouldn't the owner atleast let us know?

Is there anyone else out there that have experienced this before? Any advise on how to continue. I feel a bit robbed since I spent a lot of time on it searching for material and link friends.

thanks,
NBO

Yep. Just move on and try another free blog host which is stable and have some experience :)

Yep, that happened to me once also. Actually all these free blog hosts tend to disappear a day. That's why it's better to have all your main blogs on your own hosts.
Though nobody can guarantee that your host provider will be stable as well.

I'm anti-freehosting man, NEVER trust those free blog hosts

Get a cheap virtual host and spend 10 bucks on a domain mate....

Anytime you use a free anything, this is exactly what you can expect. The lesson here is don't use free blog services. Don't use free web hosting.

I never used them and this won't make me try them

Well, I guess I learned the hard way then, which kind of sucks but OK, you live you learn.
From now on, I will NEVER use free blogs or free hosting...ever again.

And to all other noobs out there reading this, DON'T follow my example by getting free blogs or hosting, not worth it!

Thanks for all the feedback.

Happens when you're cheap :)
Get yourself a reseller instead

Live and learn my friend, live and learn.

Don't waste your time and energy on this, just move forward. Time is money!

that sucks

That sucks!

PS: Watch for FETISH HITS upcoming free hosted blog solution...

No the lesson here is use a reputable one, not some fly by night service by some nobody.

If you must use freehosting why not hit up your sponsor?

Any other way i would not bother unless you're not worried about losing your shit as you seen happens.

Sensual Writer works for me

Try em out :)

Sucks mate :( Hope you get things sorted!

don't use freeblogs

Thanks for the heads up on this.

There's quite a few really good free blog hosts which are more likely to in it for the long haul. Some that I like are Smut Blogs, Xlogz and WAQN.

what a surprise. Domains and hostings are cheap as chips... no reason to use free hosts :upsidedow

Dude, see the sig. I got awesome web hosting deals on my TwisterPro.com site - fuckin why worry about having your sites taken down when you can run you own server for like $5 bucks amonth. Holler if you need any help

free hosts have their uses, but expect them to disappear. treat them as disposable ...

Exactly what busbabes said

If you host your own blogs you can also backup the databases and move them anywhere you like, even if your host disappears.

Go for a sponsor host if your looking for free. Good Luck

It looks like pornblink.com expired, it's pointed to some domain parking page now. So they didn't just delete your blogs, it looks like the owner just didn't give a shit about the site and let the domain expire.

If you don't want to pay for hosting go with someone who's been around. Sensualwriter.com and thumblogger.com are good blog hosts, the same guy owns them and he's been around a long time. You're also welcome to use mine in my sig. The site is on it's own dedicated server and I have no reason to ever let it go. I still have adult domains I registered back in 2003.

I hope other newbies are reading this and see it clear now why everyone advises to get your own host if you are serious about the business.

If you need a reliable/cheap/adult friendly webhost, I recommend you have a try to Hostgator, it is the one I use and I am very happy with them so far.

looks like pornape.net has closed as well

Thanks for the great advice. Yes, I have definitely learnt my lesson and hopefully other newbies like me learn from my mistake. Eventhough the blog was only a test to see how everything works, it still is really annoying when after all the hard work, the host takes everything down.

I wont ever again use a free host of any kind, have already started to buy domains and I have a server to host them on, so the old cheap me is out the window.

Btw, spoke to the owner, he said that he had to close down the blogs och try to sell his domain, he could no longer afford to have it.....a shame he couldn't let all the bloggers know about this before it happened.

http://www.thumblogger.com is a good free blog host that gives you unlimited blogs in one control panel and a shitload of tools to promote and link to other blogs.

I've used thumblogger for years without any problems :)

Check out http://mysexhost.com/ its not going anywhere :)

that sucks dude...

try thumblogger... they have been for years...

yes, happen when you don't self host. Sucks but what I suggest is at the very least save your coding in a file so you can translate that to another free host. Just save every post in a file. Just my opinion.

Well, after a month I got in contact with the blog provider again and abra-kadabra, they had decided to keep going but with some great upgrades. The server is bigger and the upload speed is much faster than before.

Sometimes I guess you have to have patience. So now my blog is back online and better than ever. Also the guys working at pornblink are very helpful and is checking up on me, so to speak, thank you very much :). That is very appreciated by a newbie.

Just wanted to update you all here and hope that more former pornblink blog owners sees this and will be able to restore their blogs just as I did.

Cheers,
NBO

Would you please check your blog now?
The owner placed on all links a PHP redirect, and it goes to that Kim Kardashian site
I just read on another forum he pulls this stunt on his users

Goes to http://kimksuperstar.com Not to DirtyWifesExposed.

Why the fuck people use free (blog) hosts? They can steal your traffic anytime they want... stay far far away from free hosts!:warning:warning

that s how i started, using free blogs.
i am slowly shifting to reg blogs with wordpress and my own hosting
takes a bit longer to learn but u get to keep all your traffic and you know for sure your blogs wont disappear...

you should do the same

Absolutely :thumbsup

Denny dude they use free blogs as linking resources...

That's to bad..

Hey NBO
If you are looking for some extra free blog services please let me know.

It is always better to have it hosted on your server.. Just go for a basic package..

Here are the free hosts I have used:

Thumblogger.com
VenusBlogger.com
Sexusblog.com
Pornblogspace.com

even if they warned you they would still shut them down. it's not like you can move them. a good virtual account and build your own nwtwork

its well worth the few bucks to have your own hosting.

CyberWurx is the best host for things like this.
