    I accidentally connected my domain name to a new web builder without making sure I had all my content and now I can’t get to it – where would my wordpress web site be stored on word press even if it’s not published currently?

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

    If the question is for the site in your post, then the files and database are stored on your host, which appears to be FatCow. That would not be stored on WordPress.com, as this is a hosting company.

    Here’s a bit about the differences- https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

    If you’re not going to relink the main domain to the old files and database, see if the host has a temporary domain or if you can link a subdomain. WordPress.org would be able to guide you. https://wordpress.org/support/

    If there was a separate WordPress.com hosted site, let us know the address.

    Thank you Darcie. Unfortunately, FatCow says my pages are stored on wordpress. Ugh! I can’t believe they disappeared just by changing my nameserver, but maybe that’s what happens? Can I change my nameserver back and find it again?

    Yes, WordPress software on their servers, but not within WordPress.com hosting. There are some files and the database located within your hosting account. Changing name servers back generally does it.

    Here’s another explanation of the differences: https://wordpress.org/support/article/wordpress-vs-wordpress-com/

    Try getting more help at WordPress.org as well.
