  Can anyone help me with this situation? I mistakenly changed my website name to something else, and now I cannot access anything on my website, because it no longer “exists” per say.

  Anyone know who I should contact or what I should do to retrieve it? Or is it lost forever?

  the website use to be called http://www.lilyhlingco.com but I changed it to http://www.texashomemaxirebate.com and now I don’t have access to anything anymore… (it shows as an error message 404)

  I then panicked and created a godaddy domain account and so I have the domain name, but I’m just super confused what I should do to get my information back.

  Hi there,

  Please contact your hosting provider to get help with that.

  The forum you have posted is for the WordPress.com hosting platform which is different than the WordPress software that your site is using. You can learn more about these differences here:
