If the original sized pics are still the same size and file name, and you can recreate the folders they were in, just ftp them to restore the folders and original images.

The database will then see these, but you will still have no thumbs or intermediates, so you need to use the re-size pics utility to restore these.

Of course, all this requires you to have the originals and know the folder structure.  This shows the value of backing up your albums folder.

are you actually paying your webhost? They moved your stuff to another server and claim to have "lost" some files? Tell them to move their asses and get a backup from your old server and restore your lost files pronto!
If they can't (or you don't want to argue, or you don't actually pay for webhosting): ask nicely, or re-insert the pics "manually". If you can't: duhh...
