  Hi there,

  Thanks for providing your site URL. It looks like your site is not hosted with WordPress.com, but elsewhere:
  https://www.whoishostingthis.com/#search=teresasweeney.com

  We cannot access files or data for sites that are hosted elsewhere and WordPress.com staff can only assist with sites that are hosted on their servers.

  For sites using the open source WordPress.org software, and you can find support for that at: https://wordpress.org/support/forums/

  I hope that helps :)

  Oh god I’m sorry! I was sure it was with WordPress, so long since I even accessed it 😳
  Thank you so much

  Absolutely no problem at all!

  You can find more information here about the differences between WordPress.org software and WordPress.com here: https://wordpress.com/support/com-vs-org/

  I hope that helps :)

  I’ve done research and I think my site has been hacked. I did have a WordPress website and I NEVER used cloudflare for hosting. I created my WordPress website but I haven’t used it in a year or so. Now I can’t access anything. And my website is apparently hosted by cloudflare.
  Please help, I’ve no idea what to do and I’m really panicking here 😭

  Hi there,

  Cloudflare is not a hosting provider.

  I created my WordPress website but I haven’t used it in a year or so.

  Okay, which hosting provider did you choose? There must be a trace of this in your email.

  Important: From a domain name’s administration panel one can change DNS settings. Where did you register teresasweeney.com at?

  This will be a good start if you cannot find any trace about the hosting service of your website.

  Hope this helps further, otherwise, let us know!

  This is the latest I’ve come up with. If you scroll down you will see my website pages are shown. My pages that I spent so long creating and editing. I’m absolutely devastated. I don’t know what to do.

  That domain was registered 11th March 2021. If that wasn’t something you did then perhaps you let your domain expire and someone else purchased it.
