well, at least for today
Closing in on 5pm here as I write this today because Iโve been fighting with the same client website since yesterday afternoon.
Thatโs right yesterday afternoon.
And itโs all because of a shitty web host that used to be good.
More on that in a moment.
But first, Iโve got one sponsor today. So, check โem out for a chance at some monies!

So Hereโs What Happened
So, I rebuilt a Webflow site on a temporary domain in my Hostinger account.
Client approved it, but the site had to be copied to a cheaper web host cause I gave him a year of free hosting included.
I picked Siteground cause their Black Friday deal is going on now and I could get their GoGeek plan cheap and maintain access to the client hosting.
I didnโt know Siteground would fuck me.
Move the site. No downtime. Starting testing out all the forms on the site.
Everything is looking good, until it isnโtโฆ.at like 9pm last night.
I can only assume that my IP address was marked as spam or something cause my form entries stopped coming through. (Guy collects leads, so lots of pages with forms).
Site design went kinda wonky until you submitted a form. Weird shit.
I didnโt engage with Siteground support since a year or two ago I had to explain some basic WordPress stuff to them when I was trying to get help.
After fighting with the stupid site on Siteground, I gave in this afternoon and just moved his site to my cheap hosting package (Hostinger)โฆwhere the site was built and working fine.
Guess what? It all works perfectly right now.
Fucking Siteground.
So, avoid them. Especially for a client site. I should have known better. Learn from my mistakes. Cause my hourly wage for this Webflow to WordPress project has gotta be like so terrible. Though I didnโt get back to work on the site today until like 2pmโฆso not quite as bad as it seems. fml
