Hi, @kristinechico!
It looks like the domain expired and has since been purchased by someone else.
You can view the WhoIs information here: https://www.namecheap.com/domains/whois/results.aspx?domain=vibrantlivingblog.com
There’s more information on domain expirations here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-expiration/
The good news is that if you had your site hosted on WordPress.com, you should be able to log in and change your site address back to its original *.wordpress.com address and get your articles back (so long as you didn’t delete your site). You can find instructions on how to do that here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
If your site wasn’t hosted on WordPress.com, though, you’d need to get in touch with your web host’s support team and see if they can help you get the data back.
I hope this helps! Let me know if I can provide any other information. :)

Hello I was able to login thru wordpress.com however there is no wa to change the domain I can see my site but after that there’s no other option

If you can see your site in WordPress.com, and the only domain listed there is for yoursitename.wordpress.com, you should be able to export your content to create a backup — instructions on doing that are here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
You can also go to the Domains tab and purchase a new domain for your site… You’ll need to be on one of WordPress.com’s upgraded plans to do so, but registering your domain through WordPress.com has the benefit of being auto-renewed each year, so you won’t run into this trouble with the new domain you select. The steps to do that are listed here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/register-domain/, and more information on the upgraded WordPress.com plans is available here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/.
Let me know if I can help further!

I’m going to tag this with modlook, which will flag a WordPress.com Happiness Engineer so they can check out what’s what behind the scenes for you.
Good luck! :)

Hi kristinechico,
I tried logging in and I can no longer view my site http://www.vibrantlivingblog.com how can I retrieve the articles?
vibrantlivingblog.com is a self hosted WordPress.org site, rather than a WordPress.com site. There is some information about the differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org in this guide:
We are only able to help with WordPress.com sites on these forums. Your hosting provider may be able to provide a content backup so you could try speaking to them.
Support for WordPress.org sites is also available on these forums:
https://wordpress.org/support/
Best of luck finding your posts!
