IndianaRog website down for the count
By: IndianaRog Date: October 14, 2023, 7:51 am
---------------------------------------------------------
A number of members have reached out to tell me my website is
down. I originally set it up many years ago with a host called
"Webs.com" service from them has been good til now. Recently
they were purchased by Vistaprint and the website hosting
business was sold off to a Canadian firm called "ExactHosting".
Seems not all websites made the transition cleanly. My
"IndianaRog" website and another I manage were both
lost...Webs.com help desk was of no help and ExactHosting claims
my websites never made the transition.
So...all is lost for now. I will try and reassemble things
using Archives.org's "Wayback Machine"...but that approach is
clunky at best. Ughhhhhhh

Bad news for all of us that relied on it for repair advice. Good
luck with restoration.

Rog, I learned long ago that the internet isn't forever so I
always make local copies of really important websites and the
Temple of Steam was one of them. Looks like my local copy is
from 2015.
I can make a zip archive of the directory and send it to you
(~170M) if this would be of any help.

I thought I could attach the zip archive of your website to this
reply, but perhaps it's a little big for that.
You should be able to download it here:
Temple of Steam Local Copy
(HTM) http://doug.sdf.org/files/temple_of_steam.zip
Just load the index.html file in the root of the directory and
the website should display in your web browser.

Doug, Temple of Steam circa 2015 is now downloaded to my
computer. Thank you sir!
If anyone has a more current backup than 2015 it would be
appreciated...my limited computer skills are showing...why
didn't I do this myself regularly??? Because I trusted Webs.com
to not delete my website (and another I maintain for a
conservation club I belong to).
Lesson learned the hard way.

Well done, Doug krypto!
Hi Rog, I was sorry to learn your website was lost by your new
not a choice host.
You built and maintained an amazing website that has served us
all well for years!
Good on you Rog for giving us such a great source of knowledge,
history and of course good tips.
I wish you success in restoring it.
Gil
