Time to contact your web host and see if they have it.

But given all the cheap memory sticks, dropbox and more, why no backups?

Now this is a real problem. If you could it would be done by now. SQL is a very nice database system but it appears the SQL you are using does not allow restoring so that's no backup.

Time to talk to your database admin or the team member that works your database issues.

Have you asked your hosting provider if they got back dated backup ... my provider does maintain monthly and weekly back.. without backup its hard to get the deleted data back.

Databases don't have a domain name. Only websites have.

Can you explain why having a domain name (like abcxyz.com) of a site that uses that database would help you to help with recovering a deleted database?
