 * Is the blog hosted on your computer?

 * Well, it’s quite simple.
    Any WP install has to be hosted somewhere. Most of 
   us pay a hosting company to host our domain and have our website hosted. Others
   host their website on their own computer (PC if you wish). Now, if I have my 
   website hosted by a hosting company on **their server** I can crash my own computer(
   PC) here in my basement a million times and my website will NOT be affected. 
   Becasue it is not on my computer.
 * You said: your PC crashed and your website disappeared. That’s why I asked: was
   it hosted on your computer? If not, then assuming that the crash of your computer
   in your home has anything to do with the website hosted 1,000 miles away on a
   host company’s server – is nonsense.

 * O.k well it’s not the crash itself that caused my problem because i was able 
   to log perfectly (so yes i do have a hosting company) the problem is that the
   person who cleaned my p.c. afterwards (appearantly they felt it was necessary)
   deleted everything based in my ftp-client and my ftp-client itself. So i downloaded
   the free client again and restarted the installation.
