  According to https://completedns.com/dns-history/ that site expired back in 2020 and was hosted by Bluehost. If you didn’t make a backup then, all content is gone forever.

  You can register that domain on our platform when you buy a paid plan. But you’ll have to start all over again.

  is there a service (that I can pay for) that can dig deeper to find the content?

  There is nothing to dig for anymore as Bluehost has removed all content from their servers and you don’t have a backup of that site.

  I see the Web Archive made a snapshot backup in 2019, https://web.archive.org/web/20190330204121/http://donnadoesdating.com/, so you could try to recover some content perhaps.
