hi, i create some ftp users and then delete them
after that all files in public_html folder disappear
is that normal or what happend?
is there any backup on godaddy ? where i can ask for it ?
Solved! Go to Solution.
finally , I got what append !!
when i delete ftp account i mark a small check box above the the delete button
and godaddy delete all my files ,
don't know why godaddy set check box like that in ftp account .,
and the first surprise i got , when i call tech support he asked me to pay 270 $ to restore my files .
second surprise for me i called 1-866-938-11189 (sales guy asked me to call this number as free when i chat with him) and it cost 10$ (20 min waiting) .
don't know why godaddy act like this . too bad - i think it's business issue ,just for money 😞
MY hosting plan has expired about two months ago, but I want my files back.
Is there any way to do that? Is renewing the hosting plan will recover all my files?
No, renewing the hosting plan after two months will not bring your files back, sorry. For this very reason backups are important.
If you had contacted support soon after your hosting had expired there may have been a chance. Sorry!
I've also had "support" be extremely aggressive about upsells. I wanted to help him because I totally get it making commissions, but he kept escalating and asking me to buy more and more. Just hang up, and if they added anything to your cart remove it.
My latest experience with godaddy support was an abusive technician who deliberately altered my files in the FTP client and took my site down.
If anyone finds better hosting they're happy with, please let us know.
