  That domain is available on a Godaddy auction site, http://fahujali.com/. if you didn’t make a proper backup I’m afraid your data is lost forever.

  @animeshphukon27 – It might (and I emphasize *might*) be possible to view your old site through an Internet archive service called “Wayback Machine.”

  I did a quick check and I was able to find that they have some data for this website dating all the way back to 2016. Click the link below to see an example.

  https://web.archive.org/web/20180322052050/http://fahujali.com/

  Though you may not be able to get the domain back, you could research your old site on Wayback Machine, copy the information you find, and paste the information into a new free site here on your WordPress.com account.

  It is very manual, but it may be a way to get some of your original site back.
