Okay, nothing to do with vBSEO, I just don't have anywhere else to post since my DOMAIN IS DOWN!!! I am hosted with GoDaddy, and I am gettin 500 Internal Server Errors! AGHHHHH....

On the phone with tech support now. Will post when I know more

UPDATE: They elevated my issue. After 2 hours, they sent me an e-mail saying they fixed it. My homepage is showing, but none of the showthreads/showposts are working. So, it was a great e-mail, I just wish it were true....Who said this stuff isn't fun?

AGHHH!!! After several hours of me waiting, and them not fixing it, I called back. Turns out my .htaccess file was gone. By gone, I mean they must have deleted it while fixing the 500 Internal Server error, because I sure didn't touch it. But, a quick upload later, and I was back in business. Pretty frustrating day, but even so, traffic was up...I am sure most saw a non-working site and left, but at least I got the referrals from SE. Hopefully, some of those folks will check back.

    I did'nt know some people outta there are enough crazy to go with GoDaddy hosting regarding all the crap reviews on the web lol, go for something on the top of the reviews dude like KnownHost, HostGator or something like...

    Yeah, remember, when I started my site like 8 months ago, I had no idea how to FTP anything, nor what HTML tags were, and I certainly didn't know anything about hosting... I am a little smarter now , but I worry about migration. Plus, I have no idea if changing IP address is neccesary part of this and how that would effect my SE results. (Remember, I said I am a "little smarter"). Any thoughts?

    I've moved between probably 4 hosts now... Icdsoft to CIHost to Bluehost to Hostmonster. SE Results shift so much I couldn't tell if the migrations were causing issues or if google was dancing

    I used to have some customers who used godaddy (for other things) that had nothing but problems. Customer service seemed to be the issue :(

    Good luck w/ your host though.
