Stoli Websites are back up if you couldn't tell, however, some of the stuff in everyone's site might be gone. The files are still there on your FTP server before the hard drive failure, but they aren't showing up on the web. The process isn't completely done yet, however you can now access your site again via CPanel. Once you enter file manager, you're going to be missing a vast majority of your site. You might figure out by now that CPanel is in control of your website, and if you upload files via CPanel and not FTP, they will show up on the web.
If you have regular visitors to your website, I recommend creating a page saying that your website is undergoing some technical difficulties and it will return soon. If your index.html is there, then rename it or back it up to your hard drive, and create one with this code:
I have to make mine look all nice and stuff in mine because I use my website on my resume.
IMPORTANT: You might want to backup all your files from your FTP server onto your local hard drive. Your ftp server can be accessed by typing in your website's name in Windows Explorer (like, open up My Documents and then type it in the address bar), just without the http://, instead, replace it with ftp://. So since my site is http://mcstudios.x10hositng.com, I would type in ftp://mcstudios.x10hosting.com in the Windows Explorer address bar. It may not ask you for a password at first, it may say your connection has been terminated because you are not authorized. Right click on the blank white area and type "Login As" and use the same credentials you used to login to CPanel. Go to the WWW folder and copy and paste everything in there into a new folder on your hard drive. Easy as pie. If you are using Mac or Linux, I hope you know well enough how to login manually, because I don't use a mac and it's been a while since I've accessed FTP with linux. You can try ftp://username@subdomain.x10hosting.com and then it will ask you for a password (I think).
I just thought I should give everyone the heads up.

Code:
<html>
<head>
<title>Down for repairs</title>
</head>
<body>
The website is currently experiencing technical difficulties at this time, and we are in the process of fixing the problems.
