Don't give up. You'll find the way to fix this and you'll keep your site running. I've always liked your site and it worked pretty well for most of the time so I don't have worries about you fixing everything. Just don't let the pressure get to you and you'll find solution to everything.
Just my support for Carlos in his situation.

First and fullmost I would like to state that I am/was a publisher for adbit.co [ https://easybitco.in ] and I fully support Carlos in this situation.
Therefore I am happy to write off any funds that were owed to me. Also if carlos decides to bring back the adbit.co platform I will publish ads again.

This is so fishy, and smell like a scam.. But what ever Ive lost 0.03 but I dont care, If the owner or an admin with a website feels good that scamming people then its ok like that. Best wishes in your real life and care.

I clearly doubt that Carlos would scam for 10 BTC. He can get much more just from selling the site. Btw he is extremely legit member of this forum and you can't just blame him like that.

Well, uh, sure you can. He implemented a system without making sure that critical components were backed up. Part of that comes from the decision to use a cheap hosting provider and well, you get what you pay for. If he was working in IT for the company I work for, he'd be fired.

Although I do support Carlos in this situation I must admit cheap hosting has not much to do with this and that running such a site and not ensuring that regular off site database back ups to multiple locations are being made is fool hardy indeed.
However everyone makes mistakes, and as long as Carlos learns from this and implements the correct solution going forward, I would be happy to continue as an adbit.co publisher.

Cheap company? Digital ocean is one of the best companies I have used.

Although some companies offer services that might mitigate this type of problem, what ever company is ultimately used is irrelevant.
the admin should be capable to make regular off site database back ups to multiple locations.

My advice to you Carlos is to try again and implement the correct solution for back ups. To give up now after this mistake would truly make it a waste of all of our time and money.
If however you learn from it and implement the correct solution going forward then it may have just been worth it.
