dreamhost deleted all sites and cancel the account without any notifications!
dreamhost deleted all sites and cancel the account without any notifications!
they just say "Customer agrees to not engage in activities pertaining to Black Hat SEO, Spamdexing, and so-called "Scraper sites."
but i have nothing of that. maybe some mistake have happend and some content was uploaded wrongly... Why not to ask to remove that?
i just have web-site like directory with google adsence and thats all off it!
i can you beleive before the cancelation thay send me a letter that my money that i gave them for next year is happily got!
that a shamely bad guys!

This is why I download a copy of my websites at least once a week to my home computer.
Worst case scenario, I lose a week of data. If any of my sites were REAL important (as in made me money) I'd do it daily!
Never count on someone else to keep your data safe, secure or available. Especially someone like Dreamhost.Gary Harris - the artist formerly known as Dixiesys

If you really value the content on your site and if it is really crucial to you then you will always have a backup on your computer.

I'm sure they would provide you with a backup file of your stuff, especially since they deleted everything. It's still your data and I assume they make backups of some type.
And again, OP has only 4 posts when this was posted.

Seems they strictly imply they policies. Afterall no host wants illegal material on their server. Its like zero spam tolerance policy.

welp glad I saw this, I went ahead and ran my backups now. I expect to get shut down at any moment as I my open source application has gotten out of hand and is averaging 140 gigs ever 9 days. It's only a matter of time before they crap a hammer and shut me down.

Blackhat SEO doesn't violate any law (that I am aware of).
