    Hello, I had a blog/domain before allisoncominghome.com that I let expire and now is unreachable. Is there any way I can recover it and its contents?

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there,

    I checked your domain’s public historical records and found that your site was previously hosted by Bluehost. I recommend contacting Bluehost’s support team and inquiring if they can provide you with a backup of your site. You can get in touch with them here: https://www.bluehost.com/contact/

    In the event that Bluehost is unable to provide a backup, you can try searching for a cached version of your site on the Internet Archive (https://archive.org/web/). This might allow you to retrieve a copy of your site’s contents.

    Once you’ve recovered your data, you can import it to your current site by following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/import/import-a-sites-content/

    Regarding the domain allisoncominghome.com, I noticed it is registered through Bluehost. Are you still in control of this domain? If so, and you’d like to connect it to your WordPress.com site, you’ll need to update its name servers to the WordPress.com ones. You can follow this guide provided by Bluehost: https://www.bluehost.com/help/article/use-custom-name-servers or contact their support for assistance.

    Please let us know if you need any further help or if you have any questions. We’re here to help.
