Recovering files without access to server.
-
The hosting company I’ve been using for more than 5 years suddenly went out of business and has not been responsive at all to pleas for assistance in retrieving files and gaining access to the server.
I have the same number of years invested in developing my site and its content… it has 921 pages on Google.
I had WP plug-ins installed for the purposes of back-up which I installed in the earliest days of my site. At this point, I can’t say for sure what those plug-ins were… it seems so long ago.
Is there any way at all to retrieve what was on the servers in regard to my site without the cooperation of the hosting company? Or, am I looking at the horrific task of trying to do it all over from scratch… not sure I can even do that. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly suggested. I am effectively out of business and will suffer substantial income loss.

We cannot help you here at wordpress.COM with any site that is not hosted by wordpress.COM. Contact the web host directly.

If the web host does not respond all you can do is access Goole’s cached indexed content and copy and paste.

Thanks very much timethief for the advice. If you could… without taking up too much of your time… I’m not sure how to access Google’s cached index of my site. Is this something I do through webmaster tools using the “fetch” function?
