i am afraid of blogging on WP

fashion · #1 (**permalink**) 08-20-09, 05:16

i was shocked to find that two of my blogs suspended this morning.
How can the blog get suspended without sending an email to inform me the reason?
it is not the first time, my first blog get suspended bcz of the vicious pingbacks in the comments.
But why it happened again without any notice? and i do check the rules in WP, but i can not find any violation.

Since the two blogs are under the same account, so both are suspended.
A little disoppointed, i have run them for almost 2 months, now we are good friends.......

sorry to know that your two blogs get suspended on a single day, may be because of some banned content on your blogs. About the pingbacks you can turn them off from settings of WP.

Most probably, the reason your blogs were suspended is the content of the blogs.

It might be possible that your blogs content wasn't good according to the rules and guidelines of Wordpress and that's the reason your blogs were suspended.

I would suggest you to contact Wordpress to know the reason this happened.

If in case, you wish to continue with the same content then you can ask them if it was possible to get the backup for your content and if you get it, you can host your blogs with a hosting provider after checking the terms and conditions of the hosting provider

thanks,
Carl and jason,
the only possible reason is the content, since all the content are for the new arrivals in our company, maybe WP feel that i am boost the search engine ranking for our company site.
But i have seen many blogs like this......
maybe WP does not like my blog.........

You are most welcome

The content is certainly a reason and you shouldn't think that Wordpress does not like your blog as this is not correct.

I don't think Wordpress will differentiate bloggers for any reason and the only reason is the content which is posted on the blogs.

I would recommend you host your own blog.

I think if you have a blog from which you do not wish to earn money and you are blogging only for fun then you can surely go for free services which allows you to host your own blog for free. Although, there is a chance of earning money even if you host your blog for free, we are leaving this thing as for now.

If you are blogging to earn some money from it and you wish to enjoy all the services then I would recommend you to choose a paid web hosting service which is always a better option. The charges for a hosting package to host a blog aren't too high and if you are earning much more than what you are paying then it isn't bad at all ;)

It also depends what type of features you want with your blog. Free services are going to limit your ability to like PHP scripts and stuff. So this is something else to take into consideration.

No matter who you host with though, free, web-hosting, or even a server ... always backup your blog as much as possible. Its pretty bad to lose years of blogging all of a sudden. Believe me.

It is very important to take backups for your websites as if something happens, you will loose all your data if backups are not taken.

If you choose a paid web hosting provider and consider one of their backup plans (if available), they might configure automatic backups for your web hosting package and hence you won't have to take the backups for your web hosting package on your own on regular intervals

and now i have my own blog domain,

Good to know that you will take backups for your blogs as you have your own blog domain, however, I would suggest you to confirm with the hosting provider that you will be allowed to host the kind of content you will be hosting on the website as this shouldn't create problems for you later on
