Technacular Down for 48 hours

I apologize for my mistake which resulted in the loss of entire Technacular web files. The blog was down for around 48 hours.
The culprit was force remove command which I thought I was running under a sub directory but instead it was in the main root directory. The result, all my domains’ web content just disappeared. Unfortunately, UNIX does not have a recycle bin which gives you a second change to recover things.
One thing you should do to avoid such issues is set an alias in your .bashrc file:
alias rm=’rm-i’
Thanks to 1&1 support team, they were able to recover it from the backup.
I look forward to your continued support.
Please share with me any such experience you have had and how you dealt with it.

I do not know why you cannot register. You can even pay using Paypal. Please try and see.
actually they want the applying person to be US resident . i tried and they rejected me because i dont have US address to verify their call
I once did this kind of stupid mistake on a test production server of my client.. that actually resulted in the loss of many jsp’s pertaining to the project.. thankfully i had a backup
