Hey guys, I need some help with hosting. I don't know what i'm doing. Here is the timeline of events:

- I have a very small website, that just has my portfolio for job applications etc.
- It was hosted by a small IT company I used to work with.
- They have suddenly shut up shop and disappeared. I can't get hold of them.
- My website is offline, since their company, and hosting have ended.
- I need to get my website back up, as I am trying to apply for freelance work.
- I made a backup on the wordpress, while i was still up, so I might be able to get some / most of the content back.

My question is:

How do I go about getting my website back online? I still have access to the domain company (123reg), but I don't know / understand if my website is still somehow connected to the hosting company that is offline, or if its gone completely, and I just have the domain now.

I don't really know what i'm doing, and just want to get my website back online. I don't have access to the Cpanel or anything like that. Just the domain place.

Any advice would be appreciated :(

Thanks for your reply. I should have said that I know nothing about hosting and all of this stuff.

I think I found these A records you are talking about. This is as far as I got before I no longer understand what you're saying...:(
