This is the latest I've got from their support:

Nick 9:30 AM
Is the manager there? I am waiting his reply on a ticket that is urgent



support 9:37 AM
1Tb, this is long check



Nick 9:38 AM
How much is completed? How much longer will it take? I have a lot of clients who have been waiting for 24 hours for this.
 
I am still trying to get an answer out of them for the past 20 minutes, and still nothing. I asked them:

I still have not yet got an answer. It is 10:09am my time now.
 
What a lot of you don't realize is when a server goes down for any reason, a lot of checks have to be made. These aren't instant checks that take 2 seconds. They have to find the source of the problem to be able to fix it. In Daring's case they are checking his hard drive. Checking a 1TB hard drive can take a while. Especially when there's a time difference and you're waiting on a specific person to come to work.

The best thing ALL of us can do is show a little patience and trust in our host. If you can't even have that, then just log off the computer and go play a sport or a game.

He's as frazzled and frustrated as we are, and complaining to him does nothing but stress him out more. He's been up since the server went down, and most likely will be up until it's restored.

As to data loss, if it happens, it happens. It isn't anyone's fault if that's the case. If you don't have backups of your websites or databases, that's all on you. It isn't Daring's responsibility to make backups for you. Would it be nice? Yes. Is it his job? No.

So all in all, show a little patience please. Yes it sucks, but complaining repeatedly about how long it's taking will only frustrate us all more.

The update I just received is grave. Their checks proved a bad hard drive (nothing Daring or any of us did) so they had to replace it and they are installing the OS on the drive.

As I said it sucks, but there isn't much anyone can do about it. Just be patient, and let's keep the faith.

Unfortunately, what Zaertix has said is correct. The data center has told me that they are reinstalling Cent OS back onto the server. After that I will get working on getting everything installed and running again.

I am in the process of bringing up the Daring Host website again.

Please bare with me.
 
That is saying they are checking the 1TB hard drive he had. Doesn't mean there's any recoverable data on it. That is what they were checking for.
 
Yes, Daringhost.com is backup.
The server is back online with cPanel installed.

I am working on createing everyone's accounts back. If your account has not been setup yet, please open a ticket, talk to me on MSN, or come into the live chat on daringhost.com
 
Hello, Guys I am just a normal shared user as you guys are , My site was down also.. and yes the database and content was lost... but if you are admin of site like me its also your responsibility to backup. I backed up my site regularly and now that I did I can restore in minutes.

Daringhost, is a Russian host, well thats the package I am on and the price this fellow offers no1 can. In addition the support you get (He doesnt runaway when there are problems, Which most hosts do.. even the big companies don't give support at those times.)

Conclusion, to all watching my reply.. if your looking for host that provides speed, and support and Offshore hosting. DaringHost is the solution to all your problems.

EDIT: DaringHost Created My Account in 2 Minutes ;), via the online chat at the site.

Problem Lets You Realize To Make Things Better Next Time, and Thats What He Has Done... He Will Now Take Regular Backups ;)
