I'm sure they'll take care of it, but

Check your daily backups. You have a WORKING backup of your databases, right? Last night a client forwarded us the information their host sent about where backups are stored, so we could recover the backup from the host. The latest backup was September 2010 and had hit a 2GB file size limit. So the backup their well known host provided was 18 months out of date and missing 25 GB of files.

I won't name the host only because it works be unfair to single them out - most hosts don't test backups, so they fail about as often as they work.
