New Service: Hacked WordPress Site Recovery and Restore
If your WordPress website gets hacked, it is not just annoying. It can mean lost customer trust, leaked data, downtime, and a lot of stress. If your WordPress site is lost due to a failed update, a broken plugin, or server issues, the impact is the same: your business goes silent.
That is why we are introducing a dedicated Hacked WordPress Site Recovery and Restore service at 040Hosting, built around one simple goal: get your WordPress site back online fast, safely, and cleanly.
What this service is for
This service is for situations like:
-
Your WordPress site is hacked, defaced, redirecting, or sending spam
-
WordPress admin is locked, files are changed, or unknown users appear
-
A plugin or theme update breaks your WordPress site
-
Data gets deleted, corrupted, or your WordPress site “disappears” after changes
-
You need a clean restore point to roll back quickly
If it feels like “something is wrong and I do not know where to start”, this is exactly what we designed it for.
The foundation: backups you can actually rely on
Backups are not a luxury. They are your emergency exit.
On our shared hosting plans, reseller plans, and managed dedicated servers (where backups are included), we make frequent cloud backups. In many cases we can restore your WordPress site to a safe point quickly, even if the site is hacked or broken.
We also recommend keeping an occasional local full backup as an extra safety net. If you have both, you are covered against a much wider range of worst-case scenarios.
What we do when your WordPress site is hacked or lost
Depending on your situation, our recovery process typically includes:
-
Initial assessment: what happened, what is affected, and the fastest safe path back online
-
Restore options: restore from available backups where possible, or rebuild from a clean state
-
Cleanup and hardening: remove malicious code, close entry points, reset credentials, tighten access
-
Validation: confirm the site loads correctly, forms work, logins behave normally, and no hidden redirects remain
-
Prevention advice: practical steps like updates, strong passwords, and enabling 2FA where possible
Why this matters even if you already have backups
Backups alone are not the whole story.
A hacked WordPress site can re-infect itself if you restore without removing the root cause. A broken WordPress site can keep breaking if the underlying issue is still there. This service bridges the gap between “I have a backup” and “I am safely back online and stable”.
Not a 040Hosting customer? We can still help
You do not need to be a 040Hosting customer to use this service.
If your WordPress site is hosted elsewhere, we can still assist you. We may need some additional information and the right access to your hosting account, WordPress files, and database so we can investigate properly and fix the issue safely.
Offered as 040Pro Services, backed by 040Hosting
This service is delivered as 040Pro Services under the 040Hosting brand. That means you get professional, hands-on help from the same team that runs our hosting platform, with clear communication and a focus on getting you back online as quickly as possible.
