I logged into my hosted web space via SSH. I intended to delete everything inside one folder. I very unwisely used the rm -rf command (the "delete it all, folders included command). All gone. Everything. Three domains, assorted crap, lots of files. Buh-bye.
I freaked.
I sent a message to tech support asking for a restore from backup.
I immediately logged back in via SSH - and everything was there.
Either support is lightningquick or I was hallucinating and they're going to think I've been snorting something inappropriate.
And I call myself a geek.
