Moving Lycos to Fasthosts

As promised I wanted to tell you why I made the drastic decision to move my blog away from Lycos.

Well for nearly a year I couldn't understand why my blog was not coming up in the the search results for Google.co.uk until finally I found out that Lycos.co.uk was just a complete sham my blog was hosted on a server in Portugal and for that reason Google never classed it as a uk website.

This of course needs to be exposed so no one else makes the same mistake.

So if any one reads this I would appreciate any help on getting this exposed.

If anyone is in the same predicament, I thought I would recommend fasthosts, although more expensive and in some ways not as good as lycos ie with their one click site, what I am happy with was with their customer service, second to none and as their servers are UK based finally my blog www.recruitment-views.com comes up in google.co.uk

Lycos have done it again

Why o why did I do it, I should have know I would be shafted by Lycos again. Mind you I only have myself to blame but I stuck with them because changing hosting company seems a drastic measure.

Well in the end I have done, I will go into this a little more later.

Today I finally got an email back from Lycos saying they will not refund my contract as I did not write to cancel my contract, although I thought I did within a week of realizing their product is unsuitable. Know am tied to pay £17 per month for a year, absolutely daylight robbery.

Although legally I buggered I am determined to ensure others do not get caught either hence this blog.

Oh and the reason for moving my blogs to fasthosts well I will write in my next post
