Unfortunately the Straw Dogs VPS account was deleted on Thursday by VPSFarm. Apparently this was due to the PayPal subscription being cancelled by me on September 2nd. As much as the PayPal site does state that the sub was cancelled by me – I disagree. I see no reason why I’d cancel the subscription to my main VPS provider. Regardless of the who, what or why: Straw Dogs and several of my other sites have been deleted without warning.
Backups?
Yes I had backups but due to a series of silly coincidences recently (local machine failure and moving of backups between servers) none of my data has been saved. So I’m resorting to Google Cache to save my blog but my other sites are very much dead and buried. Hours of code lost, blood sweat and tears down the drain. I don’t know whether I should be blaming VPSFarm or PayPal, but in all honesty it doesn’t really matter. Whats done is done and the best way to go forward is just that – go forward!!
All my work will be rebuilt bigger and better with the wisdom of months to help me.
Here’s to a great future. Thank you for your patience while I get everything back up to speed.
