Our host went out of business…. It wasn’t that bad, as they probably didn’t charge me for last three months….they were not billing, not sending invoices, so I really can’t complain much… just that they didn’t sent a single notice that they are out of it.
Once the contract with their provider expired, they simply ceased to exist and I lost all files and databases. And oh yeah, there was no backup. This was just a “completely forgotten webhosting account”. Unlike the main account where I have regular backups.
Old story told thousandfold all over the internet. I think I hear the same almost everyday.
To cut it short: backup lessons were learned, reinstall was mightily procrastinated about, but finally zerovis reemerged. Positive side: blogging script was updated, and directory script was changed to a different software.
