I loss my website
-
I had a wordpress site that was being hosted on bluehost. I let the domain expire and thought I would be able to switch it back over to be hosted on WordPress. However, I can not find it. Can you please help me?

Hi there,
Your site being hosted on Bluehost means all your site’s files, including your content, was stored on their servers. WordPress in this case is just the software with which your site is built, and that software was likewise installed on Bluehost’s servers.
Your domain is the address via which you accessed that content on their servers, so by letting your domain expire, you no longer have an address via which to access that content. Whether or not you can easily get your content back depends on whether or not you’ve let your hosting with them lapse as well.
If your hosting with them is still active, all that’s needed is to reconnect a domain to your hosting account with them, and you should be able to get back into your site. They might even be able to help you out with a temporary domain in this regard.
If your hosting has expired as well it’s possible Bluehost has already deleted your site’s files from their servers, but it’s also possible that they still have a backup of your files stored somewhere.
Either way, you’ll need to contact Bluehost support to sort this out.
WordPress.com, where you’re posting now, is a hosting provider for the WordPress software, like Bluehost, and as none of your site’s files were hosted on our servers, we’re not able to help you recover any of your content.
