Life tip #1: Life is not fair. You'll get fucked over. Your car will get hit by someone with no insurance. You'll lose your job just because a guy doesn't like you. You'll lose money on investments because a partner decided to take the money and support his drug addiction or whatever. Learn from it and move on. You'll eventually learn that fighting is NOT worth it. You'll recover next to nothing, if anything at all, it will be a very long and expensive process and if you are lucky, you'll break even on your efforts.

Life tip #2: The host will not admit guilt... so don't expect anything at all. Only a complete moron would reply ro you saying "yeah, we fucked up... sorry" after you've publicly threatened to sue them.

Life tip #3: Don't publicly threaten to sue people. Seriously... grow up. You could have had correspondence and got someone on their side to admit in writing that they fucked up.. but because you are extremely immature, you're fucking that up

Life tip #4: Suing people ONLY makes money for attorneys. You are not talking about sums large enough to make a lawsuit worthwhile. You can file a claim in small claims court, they'll file to change the venue and put you in a higher court, you'll have to start paying shit tons of legal fees and you're going to realize after a point that pride and immaturity cost you much more in money, stress and frustration than some lost work and a lost site. You're determined to learn this the hard way, it seems.

Life tip #5: start treating your fucking business like a fucking business. If you were working for someone and said "oh hey, sorry man..... the entire company website is gone and it will take months to get it back and now we make $0.00 and our customers can't get valuable information through our site or purchase products"... you'd be fired on the spot for YOUR negligence. Think about that for a while.

You fucked up. Just as you claim the host was negligent... you placed what is a valuable property to you, 100% in their care with no backups at all. Thats not how a mature, serious professional person runs their business. Now its gone. Go have a beer, cry a few tears, get over it and wake up Monday and start working your ass off, go with a better host, keep regular backups of your work and start treating your business like a business, instead of a hobby.
