CertifiedHosting lost all my sites, not even an apology
I hosted nearly 100 sites on Top Rated Unlimited Web Hosting - Reseller Web Hosting - Dedicated Hosting now all lost without so much of an apology from them, despite admitting that it was a recent 'data server outage' that caused it.
As I didn't have back ups there's no way of restoring the sites. Very foolish of me not to have backups but at the same time if your webhost loses all your data they should at least offer a refund. Just a warning to anybody thinking of hosting with them. |

This happened to me recently and after not being able to sleep for a full day the tech was able to restore everything minus a few pages on a site I didn't care about very much. After doing that I immediately moved my important stuff to a host with dual SSD drives and backup. Spend the extra $ to do so.
I would at minimum pull all your index pages off google cache or use web.archive.org to get them up asap. There might be a program to do it for you which would be worth looking into.

Sorry, to hear about your issues. I learned the hard way myself a few times. Since then I always create redundant backups on 2 different external servers. You just can't trust cheap hosts.

Following their recent debacle;
my hosting of wordpress sites was down for a few days, but eventually restored from their backups. Did they not offer you to restore? |

'data server outage' : a database ? or ... ? Obviously, you need backups outside from the datacenter ( another dc by ftp , local HD, etc ) . |

You should keep some backups on your own disk.

Use Webair.com, you'll be fine. If you care about your sites, it's worth adding automatic backups to your hosting plan.

If you need a relatively cheap and reliable host. Check out my signature. I use them for my adult stuff too.

If you do this for a living, always have a business continuity plan
1 - know how long you can afford to be down 2 - know how to recover your site on the same host 3 - know how to recover your sites on a different host 4 - practice it once in a while 5 - ALWAYS keep a backup "off site" - be it at home or a different host. If possible, script your DNS changes, so you can point it to a different IP within hours. |

1. RAID is for availability, to allow the server to continue functioning even when a drive fails. (If you have hotswap bays, you can replace the drive without having to reboot) 2. Offsite backups with multiple snapshots are for when the shit REALLY hits the fan |

They offered to restore my sites from any backups that I had. On the plan I was on (shared hosting) they apparently didn't have automatic backups. I also have a Dedicated plan which is costing me $169 a month and which I'm obviously going to be moving to another host soon. I suffer a lot of downtime even on that dedicated server. Whenever I contact them to tell them the server is down they fix it then mail me back saying 'the sites seem to be resolving at our end', even though I attach a 'IsItDownForJustMe' screenshot.

Those are not, but if you click the link there are management options starting at $29 and R1Soft backups starting at $10. Move assistance is free.

I got 89 sites hosted there. This is fucking great. Luckily it's not uberimportant sites but still.
cordoba, you might want to login to cpanel and download your databases... However the files are not there.
