One can ask if somebody has got access to the ring or admin password and removed it that way. But I think it's (almost :) impossible, because in that case all the sites directories should have been removed as well. Maybe you should bring it up with your provider. / Gunnar P.S. Just a few days ago I experienced exactly the same thing for one of the rings I host at my site.
