    I know this is a long shot..

    I accidentally deleted an important database via cpanel. I dont have a recent backup of this database.
    Is there ANY way at all i can recover this deleted database? Im assuming theres not but i thought I would ask :(

    While you don't have a backup, it's possible your host does, so you should contact support and find out.

    some webhosts make a daily backup as a free value added service for their customers. hopefully, yours does...

    That's very good news!! :) I am so glad it worked out for you.

    @h4nh4n - any good host should always have backups, just in case. :)

    Your host should back up your entire site regularly including all your databases, its more than their life is worth to risk not doing, what if something went wrong with the server. Millions of dollars could be at stake.
    Theyr usually pretty helpful, i recently got my host to re-upload my entire site, subdomains and everything when somebody decided to wipe it all clean, twas over 3gb.
    They'r 123ehost.com by the way, i really want to mention them coz im so pleased with all the problems they have managed to solve for me lately.
