  Hi there!

  Sorry to hear that! I’ve checked our records, and it appears your site was never hosted by us at WordPress.com. This means you were using WordPress.org and your site was hosted by a different hosting service provider.

  There are some differences between WordPress.com and WordPress.org. If you aren’t sure about them, please check the following page that explains it well: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

  We can help with WordPress.com sites in this forum. In your case, you would need to contact your hosting company for help.

  I couldn’t locate who your hosting company was based on the domain, but I think the domain had expired and someone else registered it. You can see here that the domain was registered on December 11, 2022. If your site was older, it probably means the domain had expired, and you lost ownership of it.

  Please contact your hosting company so they can give you a more accurate explanation of what happened.
