My Website Is Gone and I Have No Backup

What actually happened

Your server’s copy of the site was the only “official” one, and it is gone. But every page that was ever public left traces elsewhere: the Internet Archive’s crawlers, Google’s and Bing’s caches, CDN copies, browsers of your visitors, email campaigns with your images, even your own downloads folder. Recovery means systematically harvesting those traces and reassembling the site from them.

Do this in the next hour

First, check your domain in our Wayback Machine checker: it shows in seconds how many pages the Internet Archive preserved and how fresh they are. Second, stop touching the old hosting account if any chance remains that files exist in a suspended state; ask support explicitly whether a server-side backup exists (many hosts keep 14-30 days even after deletion). Third, collect what you have locally: old design files, exported texts, invoices with product data, image folders.

What a rebuild recovers

From a well-archived site we typically recover the full page set: layout, texts, images, navigation, metadata. What never survives in archives: server-side code (forms logic, admin panels, databases behind login walls) and files robots never crawled. Those we rebuild fresh, forms wired to your email, admin panel via WordPress, so the result is not a museum copy but a working site you can edit.

The honest part: recovery quality is dictated by archive coverage, which is why we check before quoting. A website restoration from strong coverage is indistinguishable from the original; from thin coverage, we tell you which sections will need rewriting before you pay anything.
