  I had a blog hosted by wordpress since 2018 which had several blog posts published. However, I am unable to access the website, and when I log into my account it doesn’t look like there is any website connected to my account. It seems to be a DNS error and says: ‘Please contact your hosting provider to confirm your origin IP and then make sure the correct IP is listed for your A record in your Cloudflare DNS Settings page’
  What can I do to retrieve my website :(

  Jetpack: Unknown
  WP.com: Unknown

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

  Hey there @thoughtsofascientist, your site has not used our services, so I’m guessing you have had a DIY copy of WordPress with another provider. I did a little digging into the DNS history, too, but all I found is cloudflare.

  Do you know where the site was hosted? Are you able to contact them to see if they have backups?
