  First – I’m new to this. I setup a WordPress blog a little over a year ago that maps to a domain.
  Domain = eyeversonic.com that is registered with NameCheap.
  Hosting = InMotion
  Blog service = WordPress
  After being dormant for almost a year, I went to my blog today, http://eyeversonic.com/, and it says ‘Error establishing a database connection’

  I then went to http://www.eyeversonic.com/wp-admin/ and it says ‘One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.’

  The repair failed and a call with InMotion confirmed that my database no longer exists. One of their data centers had a power failure in early Jan and they think I was a casualty.

  Now, I want to set this thing up again, but when I look at my sites in WordPress, I don’t see the blog that was mapped to the domain. What should I see? I can’t remember which [domain].wordpress.com I mapped to the eyeversonic.com domain.

  Can someone help by letting me know what I should see in order to start rebuilding my old site?

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

  Also, when I set this up back in late 2015 I don’t remember paying for a premium account, which is now needed to map a domain. Was this requirement added since then, and if so, could that be why my blog no longer works?

  This site is not hosted at WordPress.com. Your database is corrupt and cannot be repaired. You would have to create a new database and then try to retrieve the archive.
  See for yourself try clicking to repair in the link below.

  Do you have access to Skype? for me to discuss with you? would have to input your hosting credentials, if you agree.
