  Hello,

  I have logged into my account after a year or two of not being on the site to re-do my portfolio however my old site (which expired less than 6 months ago) is now not on my account? Is there any way it can be recovered?

  The site I need help with is ypstestcom.wordpress.com.

  Hi there,

  What is the domain URL of of the old site that expired 6 months ago? I want to check to see if we can find it in our system.

  Thanks,

  Hi there,

  I can confirm that rachelnellist.co.uk has not been registered on WordPress.com and we have no record of any sites on our servers that used that address.

  Is it possible that you had a self-hosted WordPress site (which are sites that you create on a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.) instead of a site directly here on WordPress.com? To clarify, traditional web hosts use a different version of the WordPress platform from what we offer here, so we do not have the ability to see or access all WordPress sites.

  You mentioned that you had an old site, do you recall who you were paying for the hosting on that?
