Love RocketTheme but Joomla is costing me too much $$$
Posted 16 years 6 months ago
I started using joomla and rockettheme about 5 months ago and I am on GoDaddy as a hosting provider and I just cant afford it anymore.
In the past month my joomla hyperion site has been hacked 3 times and each time GoDaddy charges me $150 eacj time to do a restore so they are into me for $450 now and will not get any more.
If you guys have any idea of a host that will not charge for restore that would be great and I can continue using joomla but if not I have to get back to my regular html type site and get away from joomla and rockettheme.

Keep your host and install Joomlapack. It will enable you to create your own backups to save time and money on each restore. Also make sure you are running the latest version of Joomla.

I've never heard of a host gouging like that, it outrageous!
As Jamesso said, be sure you're running the latest version of Joomla, now 1.5.7, anything below 1.5.6 and your asking for trouble.
Along with a program like Joomlapack, something as simple as backing up your DB along with backing up your site files to a different folder on a regular basis is good.
Also remember to DL your site files fro myour host and keep a back up on your local machine as well.
