Beauty Brite started as a passion project. I was just getting into skincare and beauty. I just started using anti-aging products and wanted to share beauty recipes, tips, hacks and new products! I already had several other blogs and they all eventually merged into Beauty Brite.
I had no idea Beauty Brite would turn into what it is today. I love sharing my thoughts on products. Without this blog, I would not have discovered so many brands and share them with you!
I thought I would share a little look behind-the-scenes at Beauty Brite! Are you ready?
I’ve been looking to switch website hosts for months now and when I saw an awesome deal with SiteGround, I had to take the leap! I’ve heard so many good things about SiteGround and just about every blogger recommended them!
Here’s a little background on Beauty Brite hosting:
Our first host was with GoDaddy. We were with them for a few years. I heard too many complaints with them and I didn’t want to risk it anymore. I did experience various site issues and I do want to say that their customer service was always helpful. Again, I never had complaints with them. I just wanted to move on.
That’s when I found HostGator. I was amazed at their prices! I stayed with them for a few years as well. Never really had any issues. Beauty Brite was growing and I knew we needed more power!
Last November/December, I decided to move hosts. I knew right away that it was a mistake. So many red flags but I stayed because I didn’t know of any other hosts and I had already paid.
With my hosting coming up on a year (December), I knew I wanted to switch. I couldn’t justify paying as much as I did for one year of hosting.
I was gearing up to switch around November when there would be Black Friday deals! This weekend, I saw that SiteGround was having a Labor Day sale and I knew it was the perfect time to move!
Yesterday, we officially moved to SiteGround. Our first day with our new host was a little rocky and experienced some downtime.
However, I thank all of you! Our readers, followers, and fans for your support! Without you, we wouldn’t be here.
Excuse the dust while we still get settled in. Hopefully, there won’t be any more outages! Thank you for visiting us!
Congrats on a new home for your site. Sometimes you just got to bite the bullet and take the next step
I can’t imagine how frustrating finding a good host can be. Best of luck with your new home!
Good luck with your new host and new home.
I’ve been w/HostGator since I started, but am glad to know about your switch, as I’ve been wondering about possible long-term growth issue concerns, too – thanks for sharing!
I hope you don’t think I was bad-mouthing HostGator. It was just time for ME to move on. It was my personal choice. 🙂 A business decision.
Congrats on your new online home. 🙂
Congrats on the new host and I hope you love them! 🙂
Congrats on your new host!
I’m glad you have a ‘home’ that should meet your needs going forward. There seems to be so much to know about being a blogger!
Change always brings about the unexpected and a challenge to the learning curve as well. Congratuations on your new “home”.
Congrats on your new home!!!!
Thanks. If you read the post, you would know what I’m referring to.
I hope it all works out with SiteGround!
