You are absolutely right when you say that things break. I have learned it as most of us with the hard way. I have “destroyed” my first computer in no time . That is why when we are looking around for web hosting we must register with a reliable web host. Every web hosting company self promotes as it is the only reliable and affordable of its kind. This isn’t true. Search through hundreds of forums, blogs and review sites until you find the one that concentrated the most positive feedback. Even this company could be unreliable but at least you did your homework …

Well, “Save Early. Save Often.” sounds so easy. But I (almost) never use this simple advise, and one day I wake up without all my WP themes. Some not so nice guys have crack my hoster, and del every thing what they can. Pity. Now this rule is my motto.

My advice is to always keep your hosting and domain registration separate. That way you can quickly(ish) point the dns to another host should anything disastrous happen.

Two things you need to do to get this right:
1. Backup everything and anything you have on the site.
2. Experiment with web hosts before your site gets going. Decide on the best one and then stick with them forever. It is really painful if your web host screws you after your site starts showing results…

“Save Early. Save Often.” – the best solution in this case. I had several crashes before the New Year – and they “ruined” my business for couple days.

Try having 600 customers and your having your DNS server crash and your backup was moved. Now that is a nightmare.
