  I stopped my payment to blue host to my word press blog. Now I would like to get the content. Is there any way to access the content that was on that blog? The site is unavailable currently.

  I updated my payment to Blue Host, but I am still unable to access the content of my blog. I am wondering if it is lost forever.

  Hi there,

  When you stopped your payment to Bluehost, you stopped paying them to host your content on their servers, so they deleted it. That is how web hosting works.

  Bluehost might still have a backup of your content on their servers somewhere, in which case they might be able to provide that to you. But if they no longer have your content and you didn’t keep your own backups, that content is gone.

  One other thing you can try is search for your domain at the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/. That site takes periodic snapshots of all public sites on the web to preserve their content for posterity. If they have a snapshot of your site, you should be able to copy-paste your content from there.

  The WordPress.org forums will not be able to help you in this case, as this issue has nothing to do with the open source WordPress software.
