Good day.
Write to the host to ask if there is a backup of your account or the website separately. Because there should be one ideally.

Hello.
If the website's database is lost, then all the website's content is lost as well, but there is only one way to try to recover it from a static copy, and that is provided it exists. To understand if this is possible, a domain name is needed.
Feel free to reach out, I would be happy to collaborate!

If the Joomla database is deleted and there is no backup, it is technically impossible to fully restore the site "as it was" (articles, menus, users, component settings) — almost everything in Joomla is stored in the database.
However, it is possible to "bring the site back to life" using your files (template/extensions/modules/media): the site will launch, the design will be there, but the content will need to be restored/migrated from cache/Wayback/copies or created anew.
What I can do
- File audit: determine the Joomla version, template, installed extensions, presence of caches/exports.
- Deployment: clean installation of the same Joomla version + new database, connecting config.php, table prefixes, access rights.
- Restore appearance: install the template, modules, positions, main components/plugins, connect media from /images.
- Restore structure/content (if needed): extract pages from Google Cache/Wayback, create 301 redirects for old URLs, manually restore menus and key pages.
… Timeline and price
- Raise the "framework" of the site (Joomla + template + basic extensions + so that it opens without fatal errors): 1–2 days, 4000 UAH
- Content/menu/SEO-URL restoration (if there really is no database backup): depends on the volume — approximately 2–7 days, starting from 6000 UAH (to be agreed upon after assessing the number of pages).
What I need from you
- Access to hosting/FTP and the panel (cPanel/ISPmanager, etc.).
- Archive of all site files (if not already on the server).
- Site/domain, preferably — old links or a sitemap (if available).
- Confirmation: is there any backup at all (Akeeba .jpa, .sql dump, hosting backup, snapshot).
If you provide access — in 1–2 hours I will tell you more precisely: whether it is possible to extract anything from caches/backups on the hosting and what the exact budget will be.

Hello. If the website files, template, and modules are saved, the site can really be restored, even without the database. I have worked with Joomla and understand its structure. I will set up a clean database, restore the structure, connect the template and modules, and the content will need to be partially recreated, but the site will work again. I can quickly assess the scope and propose a recovery plan.

Good day, Sergey!
Restoring what has been deleted "100% irreversibly" is a path of compromises, mistakes, and constant security holes. While others suggest trying to extract data snippets from the cache, I offer you a real solution: the development of a new, modern website that will operate much faster and bring profit, not problems.
Why my approach is better than "restoration":
Technological advantage: Instead of outdated Joomla, I will develop a clean, lightweight website. It will fly on any device and be perfectly indexed by Google.
Security from scratch: We will not carry over old vulnerabilities that may have caused you to lose the database. The new website will be protected by modern standards.
…
Using your files: You have templates and modules left — I will use them as a basis for design and structure to maintain brand recognition, but fill them with a new, stable "engine."
Clean content: Instead of broken texts from the Wayback Machine, we will create a structure that is user-friendly today, not 5 years ago.
I am not just "bringing back to life" — I am giving your business a new start. You will receive a product that works smoothly, with a guarantee of stability.
Ready to discuss the concept of the new website right now. Let's do everything right the first time!
Why this proposal will "outperform" competitors:
Confidence against doubts: Competitors write "if the database is lost, then the content is lost" or "technically impossible." You offer a clear way out of the situation.
Focus on the future: You emphasize that the old website was problematic (since the database disappeared), and you offer security.
Expertise: You directly state that you are ready to work with the client's existing files, but at a higher technical level.

Hello.
I understand that this is about restoring the website after a complete loss of the database, not about rebuilding the interface from scratch. I would start by analyzing the existing files, templates, and modules to reconstruct the database structure, restore the core logic, and reinstall all critical connections to get the website working again. I have dealt with similar recovery cases before and can methodically return the project to a stable, operational state.
