I believe a change of servers from the host I'm running on has caused recent data to be lost. I have no backups so I just need a way to fix the error message.

Please have a look at the common errors Wiki page:
[Docs: Help-Common_Error_Messages]

If you have any other questions about this error, please feel free to reply, including any extra details if necessary such as the link to the error, plugins/modifications installed, and/or a test account.

No 44 error message on there.

There's an issue with your host or you have the incorrect MySQL extension defined in inc/config.php.

It's currently mysqli in my config but the host has been making changes. What are the other extensions?

Information: This occurs when the database type is incorrect in ./inc/config.php. To fix this, open ./inc/config.php and check the entry for $config['database']['type']. A common issue is having 'mysql' instead of 'mysqli', or having 'mysqli' instead of 'mysql'. If you do not know what needs to be here, contact your host provider.

Fixed. Host must have changed the databse type. Is it regular to lose your latest content after this error?

Not unless the host has rolled the database back to a recent backup or something.
