Recovering the site

$#$%^&  happens…

Probably more often than we would like it (“like” is not a good word here) to happen.

It’s nice to find the site suspended when you’ve just come back from a busy vacation… Instead of taking simple troubleshooting steps, the providers decided (again) to simply suspend the account.
