Here is the message I got from Homestead when I asked about my deleted files. As you can see, it wasn't some kind of mistake. ******************************************************** I'm sorry for the trouble you've experienced with your site. The problem you describe is most likely associated with imported files. File hosting is a feature we've included as a convenience to those members who make use of our primary service, site building. Unfortunately, however, some Homestead members were abusing our file hosting services by using our servers as parking space for excessively large and/or excessively large numbers of files--without making use of any of our other tools and services. In accordance with our Terms of Service, we've implemented a policy of deleting sites that fit the profile for this type of abuse. We do everything we can to ensure that non-abusing sites are NOT included in the process. However occasionally some legitimate sites are in fact deleted. For this we sincerely apologize! ********************* Oh well, here today, gone tomorrow!
