Hacked, Abandoned or Just Embarrassing? We Take Sites Back
We have cleaned sites that were reinfected weekly, moved sites off hosts that vanished, and pried domains loose from developers who stopped answering. There is almost always a way back.
What it is
Website rescue is the process of recovering a website that is hacked, broken, held by a former developer, or running on a host that no longer answers. Media Pillars removes malware and backdoors, migrates the site to stable hosting, recovers logins and domains, and — when the site is beyond saving — rebuilds it on a clean WordPress install while preserving search rankings with proper redirects.
Who it's for
- Sites showing a hacked warning in Google
- Owners whose developer disappeared
- Businesses on hosting that keeps going down
- Sites running years-old plugins and themes
What you get
Malware and backdoor removal
Full file-level cleanup, not just a scanner run; we find what keeps reinfecting.
Hosting migration
Move to a managed host with backups, staging and real support.
Access recovery
Domains, hosting and WordPress logins returned to the business owner.
Hardening
Firewall, login protection, file permissions and update routines set properly.
Redesign when needed
A fresh build on the same domain with redirects so rankings carry over.
Documentation
You receive a written record of every login and where everything lives.
How it starts
Assess
A quick look at the site, host and domain tells us if it is a cleanup or a rebuild.
Rescue
Cleanup or migration is done on a copy first, then swapped live.
Protect
A care plan keeps the site updated and monitored so it doesn't happen again.
Pricing
Monthly plans are month to month with 30 days' notice. One-time work is a flat rate quoted in writing.
Website Rescue
Cleanup or migration; cleanup plus hardening and refresh; full rebuild on a clean install. Quoted in writing.
