Hello again,
gracevisionlife.wordpress.org does not exist

arc-cambridge.co.uk is hosted at GoDaddy

Name servers:
ns57.domaincontrol.com
ns58.domaincontrol.com

woodhallestate.co.uk is hosted at register.com

Name servers:
dns1.register.com
dns2.register.com

Those two above sites are using the open source WordPress software and are not hosted here on WordPressdotcom. Have you contacted your web hosting provider for assistance with this issue? Please check with them directly.

In general, for help with a site using the open source WordPress software, you’ll want to head over to https://wordpress.org/support where they have more experience with the software you are using. If you don’t have a username on the ORG forums you can register one on the top of that page.

Just to clarify, this support forum assists users of the WordPressdotcom platform. WordPressdotcom (where we are ) and WordPress are separate entities with different documentation and support forums. More information about the differences can be found here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
