  Where are the missing images hosted ie. on which servers are these images?

  1. If you uploaded images from your computer into your blog then they will be found in your Media Library as they will be hosted on WordPress.com servers. http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/
  But if you uploaded images from your computer onto WordPress.com servers and cannot locate them in the blog’s Media Library because you deleted them we cannot help you. They are gone and you will have to upload them again.

  2. If the missing images are ones you have linked to on some other server somewhere else online that does not allow hotlinking to images the images will not be displayed.
