Fresh perspectives and practical advice, all in one place.
Recover a hacked WordPress site by resetting all passwords in order, restoring a scanned clean backup, or manually replacing wp-admin and wp-includes. Backdoors hidden in wp-content/uploads are the top cause of reinfection. Always scan a backup before restoring it.
Stop contact form spam using a honeypot hidden field plus invisible verification like reCAPTCHA v3 or Cloudflare Turnstile. Avoid reCAPTCHA v2 checkboxes, which hurt conversion and accessibility. Note: reCAPTCHA's free tier is now capped at 10,000 assessments/month after its 2025 Google Cloud migration.
Use site:yourdomain.com first to check if pages are indexed or ranking dropped. If zero results, check for domain expiration, noindex tags, robots.txt blocks, or a Manual Action in Search Console under Security & Manual Actions. Never redesign your site before diagnosing the cause.
Certificate lifespans have shortened industry-wide by CA/Browser Forum mandate. AutoSSL certificates renew every 90 days automatically. Commercial certificates from NameSilo now issue for up to 199 days, with free reissuance during your paid 1-5 year term. This is normal, not a system error.
Changing a cPanel primary domain requires hosting support, not self-service, because it's a WHM-level root account change. At NameSilo, request via 24/7 live chat; the hosting team rebuilds the plan, typically within a few hours. Back up all files and databases first; data is not recoverable.
405 errors mean the server rejected the HTTP method, not that the page is missing. Check the form's action URL and method first; this resolves most cases. Also inspect .htaccess for Limit/LimitExcept directives and check for caching or security plugin conflicts.
Create a coming soon page in cPanel via Sitepro site builder or manually in File Manager: public_html, create index.html in lowercase, paste basic HTML. Delete existing default index files first. All NameSilo hosting plans include both tools.
Fix Deceptive Site Ahead: clean server using backup restore, update all plugins and credentials, then request review in Search Console → Security Issues. Warning disappears within 72 hours if approved. Multiple rejections trigger 30-day Repeat Offender status. Never submit before fully clean.
