Newscounter website problems

I don't like to over exaggerate but we've had a nightmare over the last month with our new website. We wanted to update it to better-reflect our core business. Things are developing so quickly that, inevitably, by the time we had the new site up and running, it needs further revision.

But our biggest problem was with hosting. I won't bore you with the intricacies, but the end result is that newscounter.com is no longer in the Google top 10 for Newscounter. A good thing, therefore, that no one searches for Newscounter! Anyway, we're now running from newscounter.co.uk which is a short term fix and - unfortunately - has far fewer links than newscounter.com so ranks lower in Google.

An important lesson for anyone developing a new website - get the hosting packages right before you change with the website content.
