  Hi I hope you are well, I stopped paying for my domain name lifeisf0rliving.com and I would like to get it back again as it appears to still be on WordPress as I get sent to my WordPress website when I go on it. Could you please advise

  Hello there! As much as we would like to help you, your site is not hosted with WordPress.com. Your site is using the open-source WordPress software hosted with Dan.com (formerly undeveloped.com)

  WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two entirely seperate entities, we cannot access files that are hosted elsewhere because we are WordPress.com volunteers and staff and can only assist with sites hosted on our servers. You can find further details about our difference here:

  Hi there,

  Your domain is registered with GoDaddy.com, just pointed to us. What you cancelled was the Personal Plan and domain mapping upgrade that connected that domain to your WordPress.com site, lifeisf0rliving.wordpress.com.

  If you just want the WordPress.com site, that site is still in your account, you can view it at https://lifeisf0rliving.wordpress.com/, and you can manage it by clicking on My Sites at the top-left corner of the screen if you’re on WordPress.com. It looks like you deleted 14 pages and 3 posts on that site about a week ago. You should still be able to restore those from the Trash folders under Posts and Pages in the dashboard.

  If you want your domain, lifeisf0rliving.com, to show that site again, you’ll need to buy a new upgrade plan and domain mapping upgrade to reconnect that domain to your site.

  Let me know if you have any questions about this.

  
  @controltam90,

  Where did you get the information above regarding this site being hosted elsewhere? Both the domain’s name servers and IP addresses point to WordPress.com, and if you try to visit the domain it’s a WordPress.com error page that loads.

  @kokkieh @lifeisf0rliving,

  I am sorry for this error, I did a whois check for a wrong URL: lifeisforliving.com instead of lifeisf0rliving.com

  The letter O and number zero was the cause of confusion for me, I should have been more observant and careful. I am sorry for the misleading information.
