Filezilla directory problems!!!

to connect to x10hosting's IRC without an IRC client - see ==> http://sharkyonline.co.cc/irc/webconnect/index.html

Thanks! That was useful. Bookmarked.

"Also, I suspect paid hosting users do not have this sort of downtime, right?"
if you talking about 'Premium' type of account - yes they do have down time
- but remember this down time is not normal for any hosting type

Well yes, a few hours each now and then would be understandable...

I'm planning on getting the premium account because I also suppose we get to use SSH and a few other niceties (actually because I'm planning to make websites for a living).

making a backup can take more than 24 hours
server cluster Boru has +30000000 user files

OMG, that must be a zillion of users! I've never seen (personally) a server with more than ~1000 files.

I keep my site files - setup on more than one host
that way when a site goes down on a host I just change
the DNS to point at one of the other hosts

I just wanted to mention this fresh from the IRC (I'm camilomm):

| does anyone know if it could cause any problem having more than one account for mirror purposes and redirecting to the one that works with a third-party domain provider?

I can't see any problems being caused

we could find out easily, but we still wouldn't have a problem with you doing so

So, what DNS do you use? I'm planning to do the same just in case.

By the way, good news because Stoli's back on it seems, my script works.

By the way the post above looked better. Dunno what happened.

#1.
I am saying use your own domain
then change the DNS to the one for the host you are moving to
at your domain registrar

#2
all my data is still gone from my account on server Stoli

Ah I see, when I get a domain I'll look into that :P

What data? Database? Files? Everything?
And, do you have a backup right? (right...?)

What if you upload the backup that I imagine you do have?

PS: If you don't have backups and in the future you want to, use SVN/Git/Hg while you develop your site... it doubles as a backup.

#1 - everything

#2 - I use SpiderOak for backup of my program files and Cron jobs to backup my databases

my point is - I did not delete all my data from my account

if it was the files from folder [ public_html ] that would be one thing - but all data is gone

What, really? Do you mean your whole home directory?

Does cPanel still work? Can you open the file manager on it (and what do you see)?

#1 - FTP I see only the folder [ public_html ] and it has one file - [ .htaccess ] with zero (0) bytes in size

#2 - in cPanel file manager same as FTP

most folders above [ public_html ] are empty

cPanel - Email accounts - gone
cPanel - Forwarders - gone
cPanel - Auto Responders - gone
cPanel - Subdomains - gone
cPanel - Addon Domains - gone
cPanel - Parked Domains - gone
cPanel - MySQL Databases - gone
cPanel - Cron Jobs - gone

I am sure there are other items missing

[herzschaltung29]

Man, that sure is scary. What can I say, open a support ticket if you still haven't. But do tell me what happens in the end because it's a grim prospect. I wouldn't even know how to backup cPanel settings.

I can't access any of my files through FTP either. The support thread says: [Complete] Boru - Maintenance ... Completed on 4/6/2012. However, when I use FileZilla to access my files all I get is an empty directory listing. The files do show up in the cPanel File Manager, however.

if you look here --> Boru Upgrade

you see the work started on March 26, 2012

IMO they (support) mark it 'Complete' due to it being down so long

as we know it still has a lot of issues and is not 'Complete'

you issue with FTP started back in March
