I’m sure some of the particiants of  the OES Tsetnoc have noticed that my OES Tsetnoc was down for few days due to a hosting issue problem. Yes it was down and I was aware of it.

Reasons why I didn’t attend to the OES  issue and had it resolved at once was it was part of the plan.  Though I know this entry was on the 4th page of google’s ranking since I joined. I still want to check if my ranking will go further up after it was down for a almost 2 weeks.

Thanks to OES Tsetnoc  Maj3ed who reminded me of my hosting issue and thanks for the offer mate.
