Redirect problem
I've read about this redirect code on your website:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.aeispeakers\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://aeispeakers.com/$1 [R=301,L]
I' ve created .htaccess file in the same directory where all files are added code above, it didn,t work for couple day and today our server is down, index page is not accessable, I just deleted .htaccess file and want to know what went wrong??

Well you should be very glad that it did not work because it would have got you into even more trouble than the hidden text.
Instead of slowly destroying a perfectly good site piece by piece because you don't have any idea what you are doing why don't you employee a professional to do it for you?

STOP cutting code before you ruin your site!
First... put a link on this page to your site so we can take a look at your code.
Second...give us the link you want that page to redirect to.
Third...carefully explain the reason for your redirect. (for example: Are you pointing several domains toward the same site?)

I am trying to get back on Google and found this on your site:
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/21333422/Site-not-showing-in-Google-anymore.html
Solution Title: Site not showing in Google anymore?
1. Delete all outbound links pages.
2. Delete the robots.txt files, interesting content but not valid :)
3. Put in a 301 redirect from http://www.cyberereminder.com/ to http://cyberereminder.com/
Then you will be back in a few months or less even.

The problem they had was being sandboxed, your problem is that your homepage has been removed from Google's index because of hidden text. Different problems. Repeat - Different problems.
As I said above if you try to apply a solution that has nothing to do with your original problem (particularly a 301 redirect from www to none-www as you asked about in this question) then you will get into even more trouble.

>please be specific
You had hidden text on your home page until a couple of weeks ago.
Google doesn't like hidden text and removed it.
If you search for your home page Google has removed it as a penalty http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&c2coff=1&q=www.aeispeakers.com&btnG=Search
>should I remove meta keywords
If you mean the Meta keywords TAG then it doesn't matter.
>shoulld I just wait if Google will spider our website someday?
Yes it should be quite soon (a month or so). Use the time to make sure your site is clean of any other tricks that Google doesn't like. Get some new inbound links.

Waybackmachine http://www.archive.org/
>Could it be something else?
It depends on what changes have been made and then unmade etc., but without knowing exactly this data it just looks like classic removal for hidden text.

I also submitted to a lot of search engines later, could it be a problem with Google?

No, you don't need to submit to any search engines it is a waste of time.

If we do not get back on Google in a month, should I try to add our url to Google or should I whrite them on help@google.com or it is better not to bother them?

You can send an email now but under no circumstances resubmit.
Send it to webmaster@google.com with the subject line 'Reinclusion Request'. Explain in detail that you have recently taken over responsibility for the site, removed hidden text and that you are very sorry it happened etc.

I'll do that even i didn't remove any hidden text. My question - is there any service that could check our website on changes that google wouldn't like? And also if hidden text wasn't a problem will Google crowl us again?
Thanks
