[Suggestion] Warning before account suspension

Wofo · 03:43 AM

I had a website I didn't use for some time and I got it suspended for being unused. I am now building it from zero.
It's very annoying that all the website was just eliminated, so I suggest that you send a warning when the account (or its files and databases) is about to be deleted.
*I know it tells you when you log into the members area, but for some reason I didn't log in for long time. So, for people like me (i read this has happened to other users), it would be nice to send a mail.
**I also read that you send a mail, but I just didn't receive it (there was other user who had the same problem). This is very strange because I always receive mails from 000webhost.com
By the way, is it any possibility of recovering any of the files/databases I loss (I have no backups)?

Thanks in advance,
Wofo.

Wofo.

If you site was canceled for breaking the TOS, then no.

May I suggest to you, create backups.

the admin said you are sent a warning email if your site is to be removed due to inactivity. See here.

like lobrc, I'm guessing your site broke TOS and therefor was cancelled, no warning, no backups...

Even if the site was canceled for inactivity and not a TOS violation, unless there are any backups that were available in the Backups section of your control panel, then there are no backups that can be provided.

I am pretty sure I didn't break the TOS, but there's nothing I can do now.

Thanks for the help anyway.

Always MAKE BACKUPS!
