Hi people, bad news. I accidentally deleted my www folder from cyberduck when I was trying to manage the folder.
I have contacted the web hosting server which is webhostingforstudent.com they apparently have no solution for me beside keep asking me to pay for their backup restore service (if I had known I had to pay for this kind of service I would had chosen other web hosting company)
currently my website is on error a404.... I tried to create another folder named www but the system doesn't let me to. is there anyway I can publish my website from different folder beside www?
Thank you guys.

Otherwise, I would try explaining to your host that you don't want your files restored, but just the site directory and see if they can help.

9,436 PointsUnfortunately I don't have public_html (I do have public_ftp, is it the same?), I have tried to explain to them twice but they keep referring to backup restore and telling me its a time consuming service therefore I have to pay. what a great company.
