  It does not look like you were hosted at WordPress.COM – I don’t see any Domain Mapping and you are registered with Godaddy and the name servers pointing to Godaddy

  I have flagged this for the staff to see if there is any evidence of your old site here

  Your best bet is to contact your host and ask them what happened

  I could not find you site name in search engines.

  What was your base WordPress.COM site? (your-site.wordpress.com)

  Were you just domain forwarding your name to a site here?

  I believe you may be referring to http://unlearnedknowledgecom.wordpress.com registered October 19, 2015 (2 weeks) ago

  unlearnedknowledge.com is hosted by GoDaddy.com
  WHOIS: Click Here
  IP Address: 184.168.221.38
  Name Servers:
  ns52.domaincontrol.com
  ns51.domaincontrol.com

  There is no domain mapping upgrade for unlearnedknowledge.com that I can detect. If you would like to use this domain you will first need to set up domain mapping.

  If you already have a domain that you registered and purchased elsewhere then you purchase a domain mapping upgrade from wordpress.com for $13 each year to map an existing domain (one you already own) to your WordPress.com blog.

  Have you done that?

  If your answer is yes, then when you are logged in under the same username account that purchased the upgrade what do you see in these two locations please?

  I think I said most of that already

  the name unlearnedknowledge.com – has been registered since 2011 – looking at the Wayback Machine – your old site is showing a WordPress.ORG file structure. Changes were made to the Registration on Nov 5 of this year, that might have crashed the site – or maybe you just changed your contact info or something

  As I noted above, you are Registered with Godaddy and seem to be hosted with them – so that is the best place to start looking while you wait for the staff to stop by

  I tried to do the best I could do re: answering domain questions like you do and I’m sorry if I didn’t do well on this one.
