Frequently asked questions

In the best case scenario, your website will be restored to full functionality after a clean. However, in some cases, for example a malware plugin or website theme, or certain types of attacks that damage databases, the website will be in a non-functional or partially-functional state even though the malware infection no longer exists. In such cases, you will need to contact a developer to fully restore the site.
In the event that a site is shown to be free of malware after an agent has cleaned it, you will not be eligible for a refund. You will be covered for up to 7 days for any future reinfection without any further costs
A SiteLock website repair expert will respond within 1 hour — once you give them access to your site, the malware scan begins in minutes. Most sites are completely cleaned within 4 to 6 hours.

The code (programming language) that creates your website can have weak areas which act as doorways for hackers to inject malware (anything causing harm or unauthorized access to your website).

Once your site has been hacked, it can cause poor performance, downtime, blacklisting from search engines that flag it as dangerous, and loss of customer trust.

Malware isn’t the only problem. Your database could be hacked, leaking your contact details and passwords. This lets cyber criminals place spam in your website, social networks and the email Inboxes of your customers.

It used to be the case that mainly large organizations were targeted for hacker attacks, but these days even small sites are fair game, because hackers broadly scan for any site that has vulnerabilities. It could equally be a wordpress website hacked or any other type of platform.

These are the main signs of a hacked website:

  • Browser alert — your website browser starts showing warning screens.

  • Google Search Console notification — if your website is linked to the Google Search Console (previously called Google Webmaster Tools), Google will send you an email notification that your website has been hacked. If Google or any other search engine flags your website because of unusual changes or activity, you could be placed on a blacklist which excludes your website from being shown in search results.

  • Slow loading time — your website is taking twice as long to load up. This can indicate a hacking attack caused by malware using your server.

  • Customer contact — you may get complaints through your contact form.

  • Hosting provider shuts website down — this happens when their security monitoring notices your website has been hacked, or they’re contacted by one of your customers. Hosting providers often take suspicious sites offline without prior warning.

  • Emails marked as spam — you may be getting unusually low email open rates because your customer communications are being sent to their spam folder. This can be caused by hackers sending lists of spam emails through your website, resulting in your website being put on a blacklist by your email provider.

  • Website used for ads or redirects — a Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attack is when hackers earn money through hosting paid pop-up ads on your site, or sending your customers to a different website.

These are the recommended steps to take for a hacked website repair:

  1. Get a fast repair — you could backup your site and shut it down, but downtime is the last thing a small business wants, and you may already have been blacklisted as unsafe by website browsers. That’s why it’s recommended to immediately contact a company that specializes in hacked websites, to make sure the malware is quickly scrubbed out, and any blacklists removed.

    Experts also recommended getting ongoing Website Security Protection to prevent future attacks. This gives you constant threat monitoring, instantly malicious content removal, and ongoing vulnerability patching.

  2. Check for viruses — run a scan using your antivirus software. If you don’t have one, there are both free and paid versions you can download in minutes. A fast search for ‘best antivirus software’ will give you the right options to choose from. You should also have a functioning firewall on your computer to block malware.

  3. Change passwords — immediately change all the passwords in your website database, from email to FTP server details. You may also want to contact your customers to let them know they should change their passwords to access your site.

  4. Update CMS — if you don’t have website security protection which patches vulnerabilities, make sure to update your content management system to the newest version, as this is a common way that hackers gain access to your site.

No. But if you have an unusually large site with extensive malware damage, the repair may take up to 30 hours.
SiteLock can be used on the principle domain that you wish to apply it to (e.g. www.yourdomain.com) and on any legitimate subdomains (e.g. www.shop.yourdomain.com or www.blog.yourdomain.com or any prefix section added to your domain). Addon domains (entirely separate domains added to a web hosting account e.g. www.yourotherdomain.com) are not covered.
Absolutely not. We also have no extra charges for helping your site get unsuspended with your hosting provider if that happens.
Namecheap will issue a full refund in the unlikely event that your website doesn’t get a full repair of malware, SEO spam, backdoors, and blocklist warnings.
