  When I check my blog http://www.ilonggoexplorer.wordpress.com it’s no longer available. I was not informed about the problems or violations of my blog but it was simply removed.

  As far as I know, I did not violate any terms and conditions of my blog nor I committed something that would put my blog in question.

  Is there anyway by which it can be restored?

  You should have a link to contact the staff, also an email I think, check you spam filter.

  You need to contact the staff – use your Dashboard or: http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  Sometimes errors are made. You need to deal directly with the staff. Nobody in the Forum can bring your blog back, nor are TOS problems discussed in the Forum.

  Did WordPress suspend your blog, or did your server suspend your blog?

  Who is your server, anyway?
  How long do you have before your agreement with the server expires?

  You should receive a warning first before you are suspended.

  Perhaps you did an upgrade to a newer WP version without backing up your files.

  As the address indicates, the site is (was) hosted by WordPress.COM, so really, this is between ljamorin and WordPress.COM staff.

  Coolambo, remember: there are two kinds of WordPress, as indicated here…

  WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

  I have seen your blog through here and I cannot tell why wp.com suspend it either.
  You should contact the Staff.

  Frankly no, Airo, I never bothered to check if there were two WordPress outfits. I am on a server called Canadianwebhosting. Before I was with Justhost. WordPress.com was unknown to me.

  I must be with WordPress.org because I never sentWordPress.com money to pay for the service.

  I do not know if WordPress.com offers unlimited bandwidth and unlimited data space.

  Now I know that WordPress.com does not have the right to suspend my site : http://coolambo.ca

  No emails are sent for terms of service violations or suspicions of ToS violations. You need to contact staff via the Contact Us button on your dashboard. Until you do that, nothing will happen.

  @ljamorin, mistakes sometimes happen. As everyone in this thread has suggested, contact Support directly either via the button in your Dashboard or http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/

  @coolambo

  Now I know that WordPress.com does not have the right to suspend my site

  Your site is self-hosted and not hosted on WordPress.COM. And it seems your site is up and running. Reading the link that airodyssey gave you will help clear up the COM/ORG confusion. http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  Your posts are linked to Martha Stewart’s and business school websites. Maybe those are the issues.

  If those are affiliate links, they are MOST CERTAINLY the issue.

  If you contacted us through the “click here to contact us” link in the notice on your Dashboard, our ToS department definitely received your request, and they’ll be getting back to you ASAP.

  As a policy, please refrain from discussing ToS issues on the public forums.

  Thank you for your patience!
