Who knows about servers?

OK.. a really really shitty day. I get a phone call and all my sites are down. I get in touch with the hosting company and ask what the hell is up with my account. They tell me that the people they get their servers from unplugged the server and they're trying to get it back up. I get an email about two hours later telling me that my account has been moved to a more stable server but all my data is lost. As I had just relocated to this server I hadn't yet made a backup.. So, guess fucking what.. I no longer have any sites, scripts or anything online. Reuploading the design isn't an issue but i've lost all my damn data, months of news stories and the scripts all have to be reinstalled.

What could have happened on their end to lose all this info? Is it incompetence or something that could have legitimately happened. Someone told me that even if it was unplugged I shouldn't have lost the data..but i'm not sure if that's correct or not and the host didn't have that server backed up either. I just want to bitch at them and sound like I know what i'm talking about.

and yeah yeah I know.. I should have backed up.. I am kicking myself in the ass right now.
