Your best bet would be to ask your web host to double check for you that it is deleted, they should know the exact location of mysql db storage.
It does sound like your db is long gone though.
Don’t cry, don’t give up... instead from now on always take backup
and see what you have done this far as learning.
You’re not alone...

Yep don’t cry it’s all about learning and getting better at things.
At least you know now in the event of diaster i.e. the hosting server blows up that your database is not being backed up, much better to find these things out when you are starting than finding out on a very busy live site.
The second best thing with backups is Security! If you someone would ever get into your server and place hidden scripts for spamming
purposes etc. you can delete everything and re-install it all clean.

To try to get your site content back you can try to search the google cache. I have read of a few people having success with that.

there is some website that takes snaps of websites and stores the content also...cant remember the name...google it..."take me back machine" or something...
that would at least get the code for your template etc...
Also...move host man. What host does not keep a backup of their mysql DB’s!!! Thats just crazy. I hope you don’t pay them much
