Many times they will have backups of their customers hosting data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbola Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 What about your O/S does it do any backups? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaHeroes USA Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I'm sure you have learned a valuable lesson. Now it's a matter of installing a native ps db into your now missing db, yes? I suggest installing a native ps shop on some other space, localhost, sub-domain etc. Then export that db and import into your missing...you will of course need to change table shop_url after import to your realy url. This way you will at least keep actual site files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
