Somebody killed jpopmp3s

Hi Jpop Fan! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic. And please don't forget to Twit this post if you like it

This is an announcement to let everybody know what is happening with the JpopMp3s.com site.

The site was hosted in the USA and I had paid USD1000 last August for “lifetime” hosting. Little did I know at the time that “lifetime” meant 6 months, coz as you may have noticed the site has been down since the beginning of January.

It took me a while to figure out what happened but basically the server that the site was on crashed and burned and the hosting company didn’t have any backups and decided not to contact anybody that was affected. All email messages to the hosting company bounced back and Facebook and Skype messages went unanswered.

Luckily I have a backup of the site on my hard drive and I’m trying to find someone to install the content management system and backup my site. Unfortunately the same company that installed it the first time, is the one that did the runner with my grand, so I need to find someone else to do it.

If you want me to put the site back up, please leave a comment below. Frankly this whole rigmorale, combined with Apple making it increasingly difficult for me to get these cards to you, (not to mention the crappy exchange rate) has me kind of disillusioned, so some encouragement and moral support would be greatly appreciated.

I will update here and also send an email to everybody on my list when the site is up and running again.

I apologize for the inconvenience.

Share and Enjoy:

Was wondering about that.
I’d love to see the site back if possinle.
If it helps, I do my hosting through solfire.com. Might check with them on possible hosting maybe.

That’s terrible customer service on their part. If anything, they should have compensated you with some money.

I was unfortunate in that I discovered your website AFTER this crash, but I do think the idea of it is amazing; trying to spread Japanese music to the rest of the world legally. :]
Maybe you could look into some way of using a part of this domain to put the site back up? Assuming you still want to.

Best wishes!
