Last night while fishing around using FTP, I accidentally deleted few files including my blog’s platform Word-Press. Then I reloaded the backup files from my local computer but my blog and the other pages did not properly functioned (duh). I had the files, but when I tried to click on anything all I was getting is a 404 message.
I just started the blog and had not yet made a back-up. Yet I had some work I didn’t want to loose or redesign from scratch.
Well if something like this has happened to you, if your database crashed, a file corrupted, or if you accidentally deleted your blog and have no backup whatsoever, don’t lose hope and there is no need to be stressed out. Mama Elena found a way to recover your deleted files. 
There is a feature called hosting history in Linux hosting that allows you to restore files or directories to their previous state from up to 30 days ago using the file manager.
So here’s how I went about recovering my posts and deleted files with the help of GoDaddy hosting provider.
1. Log in to your Account Manager.

2. In the My Products section, select Hosting.

3. Next to the hosting account you want to manage, click Manage Account.
deleted file recovery step 3
4. In the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the File Manager icon. Then click the History button.

5. Use the directory tree to navigate to where the file or folder resides that you want to restore.
6. Below the toolbar, click the calendar icon to open the Quick Pick Calendar and select the date where you would like the file or folder restored. The directory list will refresh and display the version of your hosting account from the date selected.

7. Click the check box next to the file or folder you want to restore and click Restore in the tool bar.
deleted file recover step 7
8. In the Restore Files or Directories pop-in, select if you want the files to be copied to a new directory, or if you want to rename the files. When you’re finished, click OK.
deleted file recovery step 8
9. Your files will be restored with the attributes you selected. And you’ll see a message saying restore completed successfully.

That’s a complete way to recover a blog or any file. Anyone else have tips or stories to share?
