this is half correct, but even the best people in business make mistakes, no one is perfect after all. I took the fact that a major webmaster board (of that time) was trusting in the host for their forum, program and paysites and that was good enough for me to go with them.

I had fully managed dedi boxes there, & paid for offsite backups

I did moonlight design work for the company and spoke with the owner on almost a daily basis and I NEVER saw a single thing that would lead me to believe they were anything less then the reputable company they claimed to be.

I hired a coder to create my custom backend scripts who flaked and vanished from the adult biz. I ADMIT at that point I SHOULD have created a backup plan for the backends I did not and that's my fault, no question about it. But even the best ppl in business make dumb ass mistakes.

One more time though I DID have backups, multiple backups,onsite and offsite and I also PAID for remote backups and no amount of planning can cover shit like a fire, theft, or hardware failure, you don't know my situation nor do you know me.
I know exactly what you are talking about - i was able to get all my stuff from the company they had their reseller account with ... not sure why you couldnt?
