At WP Fix It, we’re not a hosting company, but we offer affordable malware removal services for WordPress users, and we can work with most web hosts. We’ve cleaned up websites hosted on dozens of web hosts, especially from the above mentioned hosts. We’ve found clients that have been suspended because their host found malware.

All of these hosts will provide a file with a list of where the malware is located. Our agents usually clean those files, in order to satisfy the web host’s requirement to un-suspend the account.

However, our job is never done when we get the web host to un-suspend the client’s account. We always perform another scan, because from repeated experience, we’ve found other malware left behind, that the web host missed. Yes, Sitelock, Sucuri, Wordfence, and even some of the in house scanners like ClamAV for cPanel, have missed finding malicious code!

We’ve found that not all scanners will find code for phishing or altering search appearance. Some code looks harmless, but could be sending thousands of spam emails out. At WP Fix It, we often have to use our own eyeballs, which means, we know WordPress well enough to spot whether something doesn’t belong.

All of our cleanups, we usually make suggestions on improving your site’s security, what we did to secure your site, and ask you to do a handful of simple tasks to help guarantee our cleanup stays that way.
