But cheer up; it’s a problem that can easily be overcome.  Just scout around for a better web host that you can have your site transferred to. In the US, search for Web Hosting or Web Hosting Reviews on Google. In Sweden where I live, I can recommend Webbhotell Recensioner se, check their “Cheap Hosting” alternatives Billiga Webbhotell.   The only concern is to make sure it gets up and running in the new host in the shortest time.

Being down for any length of time is a webmaster’s worst nightmare.  Check newly established web host providers offering great savings to penetrate the market.  Take advantage of that and the fact they still have few customers to eat their bandwidth.  Or you could hire the big names known to offer guarantees and have a reputation to protect.  Just be prepared to pay a premium.

These days, consumer webhosting assumes other functions that put it in the league of industrial strength web hosting solutions.  Starting with alternative redundancy for disaster recovery, all the way to ancillary website management functions like SEO and e-commerce support, web hosting has become an enterprise suite on it own. 

With the current financial crisis and people losing their jobs or getting pay cuts and unpaid forced leaves, there are more opportunities for e-commerce for new business startups right from the home.  Consultancy services and small cottage industries are best served with online marketing. 

Web hosting services focused on the consumer markets should be equipping themselves with the right skill set to help laid-off workers become more entrepreneurial right form the home and on the internet.  Who says nothing good will come out of economic crisis?

Tech savvy torrent users have a way to cover up torrent traffic of ISP’s so they won’t get their hands on them.  BitTorent and utorrent client programs have a configurable user setting that allows you to encrypt outgoing and incoming torrent traffic so ISPs won’t be able to distinguish one from other internet traffic.  Torrent how-to FAQ sites abound online discussing how to increase torrent traffic and this is one way to do it. Check your torrent software if it has one.

But you’ve bought the disc of the movie or song.  You should be able to do what you want with it and its contents. There are people who just love to share things, and that includes files and torrents sites that are only too happy to get them uploaded. 

A simple visit to these sites reveals hundreds of thousands of movie titles and songs that anyone with a torrent client software can download.  All for free.  Nobody is making money out of it.  Free Torrents seem like the best thing that ever happened on the internet.  What do you think?
