   Hi Krista
   So glad to see your blog back on the web. This makes me wonder about my blog because Go-Daddy is my host as well. I know what it’s like to keep your wits about you when technology seems to fail it can be nerve racking!
   Like you said, you learned a lot now can help others if they have the same problem! Well done Krista…well done! (-:

   Hey Debby,
   Thanks for stopping by! You should be OK with GoDaddy. I’m still with them, like their customer support. Just glad to have the best platform for operating now.

   Hi Krista,
   Thank you for the heads up on this issue. to date, I have not had any issues with my blog, BUT…this is not to say I won’t encounter technical difficulties down the road. I remember back in the early 00’s when I was teaching at a technical college, all my geekster colleagues (who were wonderful, by the way) could not say enough good stuff about Linux. Many of them had the red hat bumper sticker that was popular (maybe it still is?). Anyway, from what I could decipher from their highly coded conversations, Linux is definitely the platform on which to run anything. Windows has never been in favor with the Geek crowd, from what I could gather from my tech students’ constant bashing of Windows to what my colleagues talked about…or should I say, what I could understand!

   Hi Krista, that is great advice for someone using GoDaddy to install Wordpress. Smoke comes out of my ears when I get into the technical side of social media. Thank goodness for Kim! You had to go thru some bumps in the road, but glad to hear things are working smoothly and you can share what you’ve learned w/others.

   I am so happy to hear that the blog drama is now over and done with and you have moved into the land of peaceful bliss!

   I have to admit, however, that this is a bit over my head. I use Windows and (knock on wood) have not experienced problems with my plugins and such. What type of problems where they? I also have never heard of Linux, but hey, now I have! So I’m thinking since I don’t have the problems I don’t need to switch….or am I wrong in thinking that?

   Thanks Krista, and again, congrats on handling an issues that I’m sure brought much frustration! That always feels amazing!

   @Beth Allen, I like to operate on the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” motto when it comes to techie stuff. If and when you ever do decide to do some changes though…I would highly recommend the Linux platform, much less room from issues.

   Huh! I won’t say I’m getting too old for this, but the techie stuff is interfering with my “Mad Cow Disease”. My question now is if you are using a Mac does the same problems exist? OS is, so I’ve been told, close to a Linux platform. One thing I do know is that your techie Kim is the “best” I’ve ever seen.

   May 10th, 2010 at 9:07 pm

   @Nelson Schroeder, LOL, you are so funny Nelson. To answer your question, it shouldn’t matter if you are on Mac or PC. The hosting platform is separate from your Operating System. I will say Linux is the platform of choice for most Mac users I know…hope that helps clear the air for ya!

    I have a question for you Krista. Does GoDaddy support both platforms or just the Windows one, and if both why would they let you install it on Windows knowing there would be a problem with it?

    I have blogs with several hosts and have migrated blogs from one host to another and I’ve never come across the situation where I could select platforms.

    I’m going to tweet this because I think it’s something people should know.

    You have a lovely blog, but if I could make a small suggestion, that being that you install a ‘reply to comment’ plugin so that people know when someones replied to a comment. This simple plugin should help increase your return traffic.

    Krista Abbott Reply:
    May 10th, 2010 at 9:16 pm

    @Sire, Ah..good questions Sire. Go Daddy does offer both Linux and Windows platforms. Usually when setting up the hosting account the host provider gives the option of “Linux” or “Windows”. Those who are savvy would know to choose Linux for Wordpress, but newbies (which I was back when I first set mine up) may not be so savvy and have to learn the hard way. Unfortunately, a lot of GoDaddy tech support have no knowledge of the WordPress application (because they claim not to “support third party applications”…even though they offer an install directly from the hosting control panel). Some of the tech support guys, don’t know how to help or what to recommend because they are not familiar with the applications they are supporting.

    I hate to say this, but I knew about this issue, and I wish I had known you before seeing it tweeted because I’d have mentioned it. There’s some screwy thing about loading both blogs and websites on the Microsoft platform, and it’s always been recommended to pay for the Linux hosting rather than the Microsoft hosting unless you have specific technical needs.

    I’m glad you’ve found your answer; what a terrible thing to have had to go through for so long.

    I am using GoDaddy for the last 2 years, and I am not comfortable with their host and costumer service in general, because I had some big issues that effected my online business in some point, so I decided to move to another hosting service, and I am feeling much better now!

    I have wrote about 5 articles complaining from GoDaddy people

    I hope you will not have problems in future, happy blogging

    29. Apr, 2010

    Krista, I was glad we were able to get everything straightened out for you!

    This is a very confusing topic for a new blog owner – because we tend to assume (as Beth has) that if our PC is windows – we need windows!

    This refers to the operation of the server our blog lives on, not our personal PC. Our hosts MUST be running Linux for our wordpress install to function correctly. (PS: Beth, you’re on Linux Hosting hun)

    Fortunately for those that like Windows for their desktop PCs/laptops, we don’t have to change anything there for our hosting server to use Linux. It DOES however require a host that is SMART about what they sell. Many hosts, do not even offer a Windows hosting option to remove this confusion. The things that play nicely on windows hosting that the average user will run is so limited that many do not bother with the headache.

    It was great to get to catch up with you Krista!

    In regards to your question – I don’t think the hosting platform will affect those visiting the blog…only the owner and the things he/she wants to do with the blog. If there are plug ins that are interactive for the visitor, then it may impact the ability of those particular plug ins, but no the general experience for the visitor.

    Krista Abbott Reply:
    May 10th, 2010 at 9:35 pm

    @Dr. Erica Goodstone, Hey Dr. Erica. Well…that depends on who you ask. LOL GoDaddy offers a choice of platforms (either Windows or Linux) and most people may not understand the differences between those options and what impact it can have on their overall blogging experience. Many other host providers automatically offer Linux, just because it works so much easier with so many different applications. GoDaddy doesn’t seem to have caught on to this yet. Not sure why…but their tech support (for the most part) can’t explain the difference either, and (in at least my case) didn’t inform about the WordPress preferences to Linux.

    Thanks Krista for this post and this is something that everyone should know. I have been a professional web developer for over 6 years, not only do Wordpress blogs have issues running on a Windows Platform but many other web based software do too.

    Wordpress is open source (means free as in freedom) so it makes since that it runs better on Linux which is also open source. Linux is the preferred option when choosing a hosting platform and many hosting companies offer both.

    Hi Krista,

    Okay, so, don’t tell me. . .your next business venture is going to be a LEMONADE stand!

    Great story and warning for the rest of us. This definitely deserves to be re-tweeted and on my Facebook wall.

    Dealing with “new” (to the user) technology can be so daunting, time consuming and costly. Unfortunately, what we don’t know that we don’t know, we don’t know!

    Perhaps another lesson, for me and your readers, to take from this is — ask the question(s) that seem so impossible as to be, well IMPOSSIBLE (how could it be a hosting problem?; this can’t be an issue with GoDaddy, they’re so BIG, they must be able to host any blog without a problem?)!

    After asking those “IMPOSSIBLE” questions spend a few minutes Googling them to see if you get any hits. Who knows, might save a lot of heartache.

    BTW, you’ve got the right attitude about dealing with tech problems — and a great “SUPER TECH” in Kim.

    Thanks for the heads up and potential time and hair saving advice.

    and was told in the early days not to get hosting with Go Daddy.
    your experience sure goes to prove this.

    @jean, Jean, thanks for stopping by. Good to see you again! It is true, the more people I talk to, the more I hear stories about starting with GoDaddy and then transitioning to some other host provider. I wonder what their customer retention stats look like?

    Thanks for the heads up! There is always something new going on. When I can’t understand anything, I go to Kim.
    I highly recommend Kimberly to anyone who has a problem.
    She can figure it out in no time. It would take weeks for me to figure something out, so instead…”Go Ask Kim!”

    @Donna Merrill, Donna, it’s great to have a tech genius in your contacts list. Kim is that person for many of us!

    Thanks for clearing that up. Seems to me though that if you’re going to have tech support then the tech guys should know what they’re talking about otherwise the support is next to useless.
