hi ben,
thx for following up.
Actually, here’s how site was developed: (hope you have a few minutes to read…)
- we imported her content from their existing godaddy site (linux hosting), then designed a test site with some of her content on a temp hosting site on my HG account (http://mytest-site.info/krista/)
- next, we set up a godaddy managed wordpress account and migrated her existing GD site to that one, where we set up a temp domain and just imported our BB layests, etc. We built most of the site there – with NO issues.
- when we went live, we realized the domain was not on godaddy, but on network solutions (my fault, oversight). For some reason, this took a while to unattach the old site and reattach to the new one. I guess problems were first there…
- no issues for a while, until client asked us to make more changes to site, so I created a staging site, using GD one-click feature. Had a problem when we attempted to make it live, replacing current site. It hung up for a while. Actually took 3 days and lots of calls to GD.
- I though we were ok, and possibly done, but the site stopped working sometime last week. That’s when I copied the wp-content folder, used a plugin to download a db, and basically made a new install on my HG reseller account. Worked fine there, but it appeared that GD site was back working again (made images much smaller, etc).
- thought we were finally finished, but no… more problems yesterday.
- finally convinced client to keep it on host gator, where it’s run smoothly the entire time…
Problem is that since site was already live and then had problems, client said I was responsible and must fix… I think I’ve lost a few years of my life with this…
To sum up, I think something happened with the staging site on GD and that may be the culprit, not to mention it is a large site…
thx
