Vudu Me Was Broken, and Now it’s Fixed!

Leave a reply

I won’t get into all the nitty gritty! You can read the background story on my personal blog here. But, in a nutshell, my hosting got pulled. Vudu me was down.

I can’t offer the front facing link shrinker, but my main problem was that all of my content was always shared using the vudu me links, and that was dead! Well, it’s back! Everyone can find my content again! I wonder how much traffic I lost because of that?

VoodooPress is Back Online and Stable

Despite the unfortunate downtime, I’m still recommending them. I like the performance so far (My sites are much faster), and the two service requests I’ve had were handled clearly and quickly.

Since I’d never done this before, I was pretty concerned. I wanted to do it a year ago, but wasn’t sure I could handle it. Now I’m mad I didn’t do it sooner. The process is a little time consuming, but it isn’t hard. I’m going to try to recount how I did everything, and hopefully this can help you out!
