Hi - I hope this isn't answered already -

I had a great blog (Wordpress) associated with a GoDaddy account a few years ago - it was active about 5 years - and I completely forgot about it and it expired when I had my child. It's been years now, any way to gain access to the lost blog info or blog? Just wondering.

Thank you!

Hey there @Lscherer

Unfortunately, unless you have your own backup, that info is most likely lost. GoDaddy retains backups for approximately 30 days after the cancellation of a hosting product and then they delete it from their servers.

You may be able to look the blog up on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine and copy/paste the info however.
