  You bet, I mentioned I’d give a public response as well in case anyone else is searching. The volunteer link Timethief gave should be helpful.

  As specific feedback on these two, the DNS errors indicate the problem isn’t so much with WordPress.org as it is with their domain or hosting, so if we send them to those forums they’ll just be bounced back to their host/registrar anyway.

  In the case of the person whose domain was no longer registered at all, they could simply start fresh and use archive.org to copy things over. The other one had a domain that had recently expired, so they’d need to get in touch with their provider right away.

  In *general* though, something like this might work:

  Your site looks like it was mostly recently hosted with ____ but your domain isn’t working there. Can you get in touch with them?

  After that, if you need help with your own WordPress installation, you’ll want to head to https://wordpress.org/support , since these forums are for the sites hosted here at WordPress.com.

  Or, if you want to create a site here instead, you can get started here: https://wordpress.com/start/ — just note if you can’t re-register your domain at this point, you’ll either need to choose a new one, or work with the last provider to get access to it. Good luck!
