Internet experts...is it possible to "backdate", "go back in time" on the www?

I'm really not sure how to word this question so please bare with me! Can the "experts" log on and view the web as it was "set up" or seen on a previous date?
This pertains to my ongoing claim with Yellowpages online...!

Has anybody sued or been sued in Small Claims Court?

Can one go back and "see" how my then online advertising would have appeared on that day, say April 29/2015 at 1:00pm MST? Luckily back then I printed off a copy of my browser showing the "faulty" advertising products that no longer appear today but it would be even more effective to actually show....the courts, let's just say!...what exactly my complaint pertaining to a faulty website link that I had been paying $$$ for for 7 months would have appeared back then?

Passing this on to the PPOT brains out there!

Do youz guyz no wut am tawkin 'bout, ear?

Yes, there's an archive that takes "snapshots" of websites.

It's not very intuitive....

Enter the website http name. The next page will have a bar graph at the top, with different years. Click on the bar graph for the year you want. The next page will have a calendar that shows the dates that are archived. Click on the date you want. The next page should be the webpage you're looking for.

I know his domain name.

Wayback is intuitive.

There is only one snapshot for it.

So, aside from an archive of the actual website itself, April 29/15 @1:00pm can't be "re-created" on www? The Canadian in me "apologizes" if this is an obscure question.

Without getting into the technical, correct.

His site was built and maintained for him by yellowpages.ca under his business specific URL.

He's not looking for old yellowpages.ca pages, he's looking for hisdomain.com pages.

What you need is one of the "computer hacker" experts on TV. You know, that folks that can just bang away on the keys, never ever EVER have to hit the backspace or touch the mouse, just type like mad and they can enhance a the reflection in the bumper of a car from across the street from traffic surveillance camera and read the tag number of the car that will solve the murder. Those folks are really good. \

To answer the OP question, I am no expert, but I think it is truly just history.

Kinda what I thought but I just thought I'd ask anyway. With all that hackers can do these days I thought maybe the technology is out there!

Hey! The possibility of doing this "in the future" would make this one hell of a story line for an epic SCI-FI flic! BACK TO THE FUTURE 2015! Ya, that sounds about right! Hugh R, where are you? I want to claim my share of the movie rights right now!

Maybe the FBI can recover it from Hillary's hard drive?

Sorry - couldn't resist.
