  Hi there! 👋🏼

  I started a blog about 5 years ago and let the domain lapse. I am trying to get it back going but can’t figure out how to get back all my old posts that I had backed up.

  I see that you registered the domain on 2023-10-23 again.

  However, it seems that you’re using it with a BlueHost WordPress website:

  • https://whohosts.pro/hodgepodgejourney.com

  ⚠️ I checked your domain’s DNS history and noticed you’ve been hosting it with Bluehost before, not WordPress.com.

  Therefore, you may want to contact Bluehost support to see if they keep your old site backups (which is highly unlikely but worth a try).

  💡 At WordPress.com, we can only provide help for WordPress sites hosted with WordPress.com.

  If it helps in any way, here’s what “The WaybackMachine” has about your site (the last usable archived version of your site is from February 2022):

  I hope this helps! 😊
