  Hi @sparrowebites, I was able to restore the site itself.

  The domain was cancelled several weeks ago and refunded. That will be trickier to get back, because it’s already been returned to the registrar:

  Recover an Expired or Cancelled Domain

  I’ll send an invoice for the domain cost. Please pay that right away, then respond here so we can reach out to the registrar to try to get it back. If we aren’t able to get it before it goes into redemption, there will be an extra $80 fee, so we’ll want to work quickly.

  Also, I noticed that in the past you were using domain-only free hosting. We don’t currently offer that; it’s been several years since we did. And while we allowed people who already had that option to keep it, there’s no way to buy it now.

  At this point, you would need paid hosting in addition to the domain. You can find our pricing here:

  If you wish to manage your own installation with another host, you can do that, too:

  Just note you would want to transfer the domain instead of cancelling it.
