Website repair usually comes down to solving either the server or the database component. Either the server is malfunctioning or the database; such as in the case of WordPress websites where plugin updates can cause database values to break.
Some websites might have been hacked, you might have clicked a malicious link, someone figured out your password, or your hosting company could have been digitally attacked by bots. There are many reasons to why a website might need to be repaired.
Usually, you can go into the FTP (file transfer protocol) and disable the folder (plugin) that is causing the problem, you can also do certain things like restoring your website to a previous date where the problem did not occur or the plugin had not updated.
Contact Your Hosting Company Or Webmaster
The first thing you should do when your website has crashed and you need to repair the website is: Contact your hosting company or webmaster.
The hosting company is going to charge you to restore your website or repair the website. The cost depends usually on how large the website was, sometimes small websites that are under 1 gig of memory can be fixed and restored very quickly while larger websites might take more time and dedication.
How Long Does Website Repair Take?
It can take a few hours, sometimes a few days, and sometimes in rare cases weeks or months. Smaller websites with less content/media and PHP are going to be easier to repair and restore than websites that have thousands of files/folders like a university or funeral obituary.
But as I said, contact the hosting company first that hosts your website. Sometimes, the hosting company is going to give you a break and help restore your website, but it depends on the hosting company you are using, the agent that responded to you, and the type of website along with the overall size.
The best part about having a webmaster is that you don’t have to spend hours on the phone with the website hosting companies or send hundreds of emails back and forth, your webmaster will save you time by doing it for you!
