How can I restore player scores?

This is so irritating and making me literally cry for all the work necessary just to restore the score.

Here's the problem: Whenever a payment is due for my server, the provider automatically shuts it down. After 1 day and payment is successful, it'll take a bit before it goes back up.

Most times, it does get back up, but everybody's hard work relies on it to stay up, and it does remove all score a lot of times.

Game: Garry's Mod

If there's no way to do this, is there an alternative to keeping permanent score without purchasing anything?

Thank you, to anyone who read this.
Appreciate the help guys.

Assuming you are paying on time, that is pretty poor service from a game server provider.

There is no feature to prevent a server from being automatically removed for extended downtime. The best way to prevent it is to keep it online. May be best to contact your host to get the payment situation to work out better.
I am retired from GameTracker after 11 years and will not be responsive for support requests.

Guess I'll be moving to a different place to track scores. :/

1 day overdue isn't on time.

Servers are not deleted from here in just one day.
If the server has been on line for a few months, it can take up to a week to be deleted.

Sorry to hear that. Yes, you may have some difficulty if you have your server offline for weeks at a time.

For servers that have been online for a while like that, a week is a low ball estimate.
