  Hello! I have two sites, neither of which I’ve accessed for some time. I paid to upgrade one of them, and I cannot find any of the content that I wrote when it was a ‘paid for’ site. How do I locate that content? My goal is to take all of the content from both sites and migrate it to a new, third site. Thanks!

  What is the URL of the site you’re trying to access?

  Hi! It was http://www.pbandjparenting.com. It doesn’t exist any longer because I stopped paying the annual fee (and stopped blogging). However, I’m assuming the content is still “floating out there in the ether) (excuse me–I’m quite the Luddite), and I’d like to find it. :) Thanks

  Okay, you had that domain registered with us from April 2018 to April 2019, and the WordPress.com site on which it was registered still exists at https://pbandjparentingcom.wordpress.com/

  However, I also see a Jetpack connection for that domain, which tells me at some stage you pointed that domain away from us to a WordPress site at another hosting provider. Does that sound right?

  If the content you’re looking for is not at the WordPress.com address I gave above, it means it was on this stand-alone WordPress site, in which case the hosting provider you had used for that site has most likely already deleted it from their servers. But your best bet is to contact that hosting provider directly in that case.

  You can also check the Internet Archive, but it doesn’t look like they have any snapshots of your site after early 2018:
