  I bought my domain name late last year and then forgot about it until this week. I cannot login under my hotmail address and my other 2 gmail addresses aren’t working for a password reset.

  How do I find out what email I used to create the site/Wordpress account? I know this should be obvious but I try to use a new one and can never stick to them.

  Thanks.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  The email is for the website http://www.rileyshore.com and NOT rileyshore.wordpress.com.

  Hi there,

  That domain is registered with publicdomainregistry.com and is hosted with ehosts. That domain has never been connected to any site on WordPress.com.

  The domain name shows as registered in October last year, so if you had a site at that domain before that date, it means someone else has since bought the domain after it expired. You’ll need to contact the hosting provider where you used to have your site to find out if they still have any backup of it on their system.
