Hi, is there any way to re-do hosting from scratch? I lost a WordPress site because my teammate changed the url, and long story short we don’t even have access to a cpanel or any of the files. So what I tried to do now was get a new web hosting with the domain, since I still have access to the domain. It’s still not working and I still can’t sign in. All I really need to do is remove the url forwarding. What can I do? (If I delete all the DNS records would that remove the url forwarding?)

The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

It looks like your domain is mapped to name.com servers.
I’m not exactly sure what your friend did to “change the url”, but you might want to contact them and find out how to access files on their server.
If the URL change was accidentally done via editing the values from the WordPress dashboard, you can try to recover the old site by editing the wp-config.php file.

If this doesn’t work, you can refer to the new hosting service’s reference on how to map a domain to your site.
I don’t know your new hosting provider, but here’s an example:
