the homepages on my sites have been replaced.

It’s not the first time. It’s the third time.

Each time you upgrade your servers, you overwrite the htaccess files causing our client’s website’s homepage to be replaced by the index.htm file.

So our client’s websites have index.htm homepages instead of index.php which was their default homepage.

I have no way of knowing which sites are down. I have to wait until my clients call or email me to let me know their site is down.

This is the third time.

This sure is a great way to keep the small business owner from using your service to resell hosting
