  Hi there:

  Is this for the site lyricaldivine.com? If so, that site was not hosted here at WordPress.com originally, but over at Bluehost. To avoid confusion, there are three different “WordPress” at play here:

  1. The free, open-source WordPress software which powers your website.
  2. WordPress.org which is the open-source project that works on the WordPress software and where you can get the software for free to use on your own hosting provider.
  3. WordPress.com which is a managed hosting provider of the WordPress software and with whom you’re contacting now.

  You’re seeing this site under your WordPress.com profile since you connected it to your account using the Jetpack plugin. However, this only allowed you to manage your site from the WordPress.com dashboard as long as your site was available. Jetpack did not provide a backup or copy of your website here at WordPress.com – it only shows the information from your hosted website.

  Once the hosting account with Bluehost was cancelled, the website itself would have been deleted from their servers. Unless you had a backup made of your website and its database before that happened, I’m afraid there’s nothing to recover.

  Sorry I wasn’t able to give you better news, but I hope that clarified things.
