  • Do you have backups of your old site?

    If you do, then you can re-install it on a new hosting server, or a hosting server that you have now.

    If you don’t, then sorry but no there’s no real way of getting the site back.

    If there is a backup of the files and database, then its possible to have WordPress site back. It only need to be reconfigured again. Otherwise it need to be configured from the scratch.
    Following steps can be followed to restore the site from backup:

    1. Using ftp or cpanel upload the files on the server.
    2. Create a database on server, using phpmyadmin.
    3. Import the database backup of your site in new created database.
    4. Look for the “wp_options” table.
    5. Change the site_url and home url of the site.
