    I spent 3 grueling hours with iP age today, 4 different techs. Every one of them had different ideas about what was going on to produce the the blank white page, i. e., a dead blog. The last tech said a computer (which was unidentifiable) was attacking the site and doing repeat downloads of all the MP3,MP4, and mpeg files on my blog, reminiscent of a denial of service attack. Therefore, he said, I would have to remove all the sound files and all the movies in order to get the blog back up and running. Which I did. We had to do it by going into the database at ipage.com, and the operation took a good 30 to 45 minutes to do. The tech, who was based in Phoenix, said that the attack was a high-power computer looking for pornography, but my mp3 and mp4 files were of criminal assaults and corrupt things going on in the courtroom. No porn.

    Does that sound plausible to you?

    It doesn’t to me.

    Now I have to store all those files on a 3rd party public access service like Dropbox or Google Drive.

    OK, sorry. I’ve been blogging for 2 years and had few problems, so I’ll consult your TOS. Thanks.

    All of a sudden I got nothing but a blank white page, called my host which is I P age. They say they won’t troubleshoot it for me, that I have to contact WordPress. They said there was incompatibility between theme and plugins but I have no idea how to cure that problem, and I need access very badly right now. At 70 I’m a little dense and not very computer-literate. Please help.

    Thanks a bundle, everybody. Just after I whined here, I went back to the site and got logged on without any problem. This sort of thing has happened before and I am not that savvy to know the source of the problem, so thanks for wising me up.

    Who is a good webhost besides the one I am now using?

    Thanks, men. It’s working now. The whole thing is a mystery. I’m new at this but believe my server administrator is iPage. Thanks again.

    Sorry, but I do not understand the “backticks” jargon below.
