What do I do now?

The host who I was hosted with, decided to "close". All of my sites time out. I lost all of my files (lots, lots and lots) lost all of my database (lots, lots and lots). No support contact, and i also lost all of my money!

 

If the closed without letting you save files etc ...

Maybe a lawsuit .....

 

If you have never taken back-up, just forget your data.

If they havent format servers yet, try to somehow contact with them, and request your data.

Sorry to say, but it seems that you wont be able to get back anything. Just dont work with cheap companies

 

They posted a four day notice on their site, but they didn't send emails, they just assumed we would check their site. God im pissed. I don't want a lawsuit though, I think the guy closed cuzz he oversold.

 

I once lost a great site which can't be fully recovered or re-created.
Learn to always back up your work. Keep folders on your computer in a sub-directory called 'live sites'.

It's a hassle to make copies of all the files and databases, but worth the trouble.

 

Smoke less weed and get busy, you've got a lot to do.

 

Bummer. But thanks for reminding me to do an offsite backup of my sites this evening.

Yeah man. For cheap hosts, I'd say go with one that's pretty well known.

 

Probably they just didn't want to answer the replies if they sent this email. After all they are going to close no matter what..

 

And that makes it right?

 

Who was the host? i backup every single day, but threads like this make me want to backup twice a day, 4 days notice is pretty poor, a few weeks minimum should of been in place for people to get sorted with new hosts.

I haven't heard of them before to be honest, sorry to hear of this happening to you by the way.

 

Thanks for the sympathy. I'm seriously so mad, because, now I can't get the script to work on my new host :'(

 

I can understand your anger, ive lost work before, not online or host related but its a nightmare, very frustrating.

 

Yea, well 2nd host didnt work. screw it, site is up for sale:

Good luck with your sale.

 

Thanks, no luck so far, but isn't that just my luck?

 

Always backup everything.

You can try using the Google cache or the waybackmachine to recover some of your content

 

I wish I had an answer for you. I used to have a small site that I paid someone to update. She let the domain expire nd all that hard work was gone. I feel for you. So sorry!

 

You contact a good lawer and take them to the cort house.
