Resurrecting the Alternative SOHO
April 10th, 2007
The Alternative SOHO is back online, in a sense. It’s been nearly two years since the last entry was posted and it’s time to resurrect this website.
First, some background. This website is my first official online presence. When I initially registered the domain, I knew I wanted this site to be different from all the other work at home and online business websites. I planned to focus on the mind, body, spirit connection as a core aspect of working from home. Reading through the archive has brought back a lot of wonderful memories and a lot of amazing reminders.
Unfortunately, this site was forced offline due to hosting. The hosting provider I had at the time was constantly being hacked into (unbeknownst to me) and one day, I came to my site and it was riddled with errors. Logging into the hosting account revealed that the host had tried to re-implement an old back up of the site, but the back up itself was corrupt and incomplete. Luckily, I had made my own back up of the files and decided to immediately move my site to a more stable and secure hosting provider. To say this process was long and tedious would be an understatement.
Instead of dealing with all that it entailed, I slapped up a “temporarily offline” notice and allowed other matters to take the forefront of my life. Now, I’m starting to feel the void that this website filled and now is the right time to get it back up and running again.
While the site is actually online (you’re welcome to peruse the archives, most of the content is still valid and, I hope, inspirational), it’s not fully resurrected just yet. That will probably happen over the next few months.
Some posts from the past which you may enjoy and give you a feel for the flow of this site:

May 1st, 2007 at 11:21 amWelcome back Teli… I notice that several of the old $100 a day group are back to blogging again after long breaks.
The great thing about our old blogs is that they all have quite high PR in Googles ranking system. If the $100 a day challenge did nothing else it gave us all a good selection of links.

June 13th, 2007 at 9:56 amThank you for the warm welcome back Russell. It truly has been a long while, but you’re right. Taking a break doesn’t have to be bad — not only do we get some PR love from Google, our domains have also aged nicely, so that should translate well, also.
