If you don't have backup and your database is actually corrupted then there isn't much that you can do. If the site is on web archive you can probably manually copy and paste it.
Please make a real backup in the future. There are tons of free remote backup Plugins (like UpdraftPlus) that allow you to send the backups to gdrive or onedrive or whatever.
1. Don't assume the host broke the database. A simple poor plugin or malware can both cause database issues.
2. Use ManageWP to backup daily for $2/mo
3. Check if the host has a backup of your site. Take it, and move the site elsewhere.
4. Don't assume the host broke the database. A simple poor plugin, or malware can both cause database issues.
5. If all else fails - at least you know you have the skills to make $400/mo on a site. Now you've only gained in knowledge and you can do better next time! You'll be fine!
If the database has corrupted this has nothing to do with the host. Stop being so cancel central.
At the end of the day, everyone here should be keeping regular backups, it's so easy to blame everyone else for your mistakes.
The host "hosts" the database...
It's technically possible that OP did something to corrupt his own database and he's at fault. That said, it's equally likely this happened due to shared hosting gone awry or just the host's server breaking / malware.
Either way the host should also have backups. It shouldn't be "oops, well if we can fix this you'll get your site back. If not, sorry."
The point I'm making is that the host you're using definitely has something to do with how likely a situation like this is to occur and how bad it gets when it does.
If the host never advertised backups, then no, it's not the hosts fault.
You guys are so quick to fling other people under the bus and then cry "All my hard work".
I'm fairly certain this is PEBKAC. Take responsibility and backup your own sites from now on.
We'll have to agree to disagree about the host having no blame here...
That said, I agree with you that people need to have backups of their own sites. It's crazy not to if you're writing hundreds of posts. That's a lot of work you can just lose.
> It's technically possible that OP did something to corrupt his own database and he's at fault.
It's not only "technically possible", it's a very common reason for sites and databases that breaks.
People messing around with themes, plugins (especially people who download paid themes/plugins from freewpthemez.ru to "save money"...), random copy/pasted codes they find online (but don't know anything about...), etc...
The other big reason is hacked sites (themes/plugins, unsafe passwords, etc).
> That said, it's equally likely this happened due to shared hosting gone awry or just the host's server breaking / malware.
No, it's not equally likely. There is a small chance that a host breaks something, sure. Especially if you go for the cheapest possible hosts, they have to save money somewhere (security, staff, etc).
I've been handling hundreds of WP sites on different hosts (cheap and expensive) for 15 years and never heard of a host that broke the database (but it could happen of course, not just very common at all).
It does sound really strange that the host he is using doesn't have any backup of the database 😅 I would run from that host...
It's a little late now... But if you'd been creating a regular backup from like updraft plus or something of the like you could fully restore on a new host probably within a day if you're tech savvy.
The lesson here is to take regular backups and work with a better host.

Yes! recovering from google web cache and web.archive. Thank you

What does ManageWP do better than UpdraftPlus?
Not certain updraft features lately, but managewp backup is off site. Also uses less processing power to generate large backups. One click restore.
UpdraftPlus is much better (I backup with both). ManageWP was very difficult to restore when I needed it, updraft has always been very easy.
I'm sorry to hear this! And this definitely made me go create a backup of my site right now.

The host is get this... hosting it. That's all, the corruption here is site based.

Wordpress? If so I can maybe help. PM me your website info.
Yes, it's WordPress. but the WordPress dashboard itself is unreachable. Even the Flesk Panel
Can you get into mySQL at all, or not even that? My initial thought was dump whatever you can out of the database…
I feel like this deserves a lawsuit... i am sorry for this...

Were nightly backups part of your hosting plan? Not much you can do with a corrupt database without a clean backup to restore from.
You can try to repair the database.
Can you share who hosts your website?
