Can anyone tell me what happens to a site if you lose the host source for a couple months? I still own the domain but what happens to all the content, is it totally gone?
Was it hosted here at WA? If so, put in a support ticket and ask if they can recover it. Depends how long ago it was.
It is a good idea to back up your site to your computer or onto an external drive.

Thanks Jude.
Yes it was WA.
It was backed up at one point to my computer but that had a total meltdown (twice) and I lost everything on there. Guess an external drive would be a wise choice with my track record ha ha.
Appreciate your response.

Hi Jude.
Well the outcome is very positive. Literally within minutes of contacting WA support I received a message to say everything was back up and running!
All I need to do now is get back to work and see where my head space was at the time I set it up originally. It was only early stages on the site but it would be a waste to have let it go.
Thank you once again.

There are several websites that "keep/archive" deleted websites. Off hand I can't remember their urls, but if you do a simple Google search, I'm sure you can find them.
