Website Disappeared

[caf666]

Hello,

I had created a website at https://restartwebsite1.000webhostapp.com/ using Wordpress.

After I installed a plugin I saw I was no longer able to reach my website and all the pages had disappeared.

I logged out and logged back in and Wordpress was no longer installed. I installed it again and logged in but still no website. Is it possible to have it restored??

Thanks in advance

Whereas before it would be an endless loading page, bad gateway error or the correct “Unable to select / connect to xyz database” When your free account exceeds the hourly database limitations which are set on the free plan, your database is simply frozen, no action…

DO NOT REINSTALL.

If you do then you’ll erase your previous content

Thank you for the help, but the page that is showing now is not the page I built.

I had built out a large page with lots of images etc. The site I see now is just a blank template.
