What is a website recovery service?
A website recovery service retrieves lost, deleted or archived website content and delivers it back to you as working, hostable website files. Unlike backup services — which require you to have set up backups in advance — a recovery service can retrieve your website from external sources like the Wayback Machine even when no backup exists and the original files are completely gone.
RestoreMyWebsite is an automated website recovery service built on archive-based retrieval. We query the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, which has captured snapshots of over a trillion web pages since 1996, and retrieve every available version of your site. Our pipeline then processes those raw archive files through a full cleanup — fixing links, stripping Wayback toolbars, removing tracking scripts, generating a sitemap — and delivers a clean ZIP you can upload to any web host immediately.
The result is a professional-grade recovery in 1–4 minutes, at a fraction of the cost of manual agency services, with no files to install, no command line to navigate, and no technical knowledge required.
Who uses our website recovery service
Business owners
Your website went down — hosting expired, server was wiped, or a developer deleted the wrong files. You need it back online today. Our service delivers a working recovery in minutes with no technical involvement from you.
SEO professionals
You bought an expired domain with strong backlinks and domain authority. The original site content is in the Wayback Machine. Our recovery service extracts it, cleans it up and delivers it ready to re-host — preserving the topical relevance and URL structure that made the domain valuable.
Web developers and agencies
A client's site was lost in a server migration, hosting failure, or accidental deletion. You need to recover the content quickly without spending days on manual archive extraction. Our service turns a crisis into a 4-minute fix you can bill for.
Domain investors
You buy expired domains at auction and need to rebuild the original content to maintain topical authority. Our recovery service is the fastest way to go from raw archive data to a live, clean static site ready to re-host on your new domain.
PBN builders
Building private blog networks requires restoring old domains to their original content quickly and cost-effectively. Our service handles the entire extraction and cleanup pipeline — links, trackers, toolbars, sitemap — in under 4 minutes per domain.
Bloggers and content creators
You lost years of content — posts, images, everything — when your hosting lapsed or your account was compromised. Our recovery service retrieves every publicly accessible page from the archive and delivers it as clean HTML you can re-use immediately.
What our website recovery service includes
Every recovery is fully automated and includes professional-grade cleanup as standard. There are no add-ons, no tiers that gatekeep features, and no manual steps required from you.
How our website recovery service works
The entire service runs in four steps and takes 1–4 minutes from start to download. No forms to fill out, no waiting for a quote, no back-and-forth with a support team.
Enter your domain — free scan
Type your domain into the form above. We immediately query the Wayback Machine and show you every available archive date, the estimated page count for each snapshot, and an AI-generated recommendation for the best version to recover. The scan is instant and completely free.
Choose your recovery snapshot
Select the date you want to recover from — the most recent version, a version from before a hack, or any other specific date. Not sure which is best? Our AI scorer automatically evaluates all available snapshots and highlights the most complete one.
Pay once — no subscription
Recovery is priced by site size, starting at $19 for small sites up to 150 pages. One-time payment. No recurring fees. Secure checkout via Stripe — Visa, Mastercard, Amex and all major cards accepted.
Download your clean ZIP
Your recovery completes in 1–4 minutes. You'll receive an email the moment it's ready. Download a complete ZIP containing your full website — HTML, CSS, images, JavaScript — plus sitemap.xml, broken link report, and hosting README. Upload to any web host and you're live.
Automated recovery service vs. manual agency recovery
You have two options when you need professional website recovery: hire an agency to do it manually, or use an automated service.
Manual agency recovery
- Quoted per project — often $200–$2,000+
- Turnaround of 24 hours to several days
- Back-and-forth communication required
- Quality depends on individual technician
- Often requires you to provide logins and access
- Usually no scan until after you've paid a deposit
- Inconsistent cleanup quality across projects
RestoreMyWebsite automated service
- From $19 — flat fee, no surprises
- Delivered in 1–4 minutes
- Fully automated — no back-and-forth
- Consistent, deterministic output every time
- No logins or server access needed
- Free scan before any payment
- Same professional cleanup on every recovery
When to use a manual agency instead: If your site uses heavy JavaScript rendering, requires complex database restoration, or needs custom WordPress migration work, a manual specialist may be better suited. For the vast majority of website recovery situations, our automated service delivers the same result faster and at a fraction of the price.
Website recovery service use cases
Our service is used across a wide range of website recovery situations. Here are the most common scenarios we handle every day.
Expired hosting recovery
Hosting subscriptions lapse — it happens to everyone. If your host has already deleted your files and you don't have a recent backup, archive recovery is often your only option. We retrieve the last crawled version of your site and deliver it ready to re-host on any provider.
Post-hack clean recovery
After a site is compromised, the infected version is often what's left on the server. Our service retrieves a pre-hack archive snapshot — the clean version that existed before the malicious code was injected — giving you a recovery point that predates the attack entirely.
Failed migration recovery
Data loss during server migrations is one of the most common website recovery scenarios. Whether files were overwritten, a database export was corrupted, or staging and production got confused, archive recovery delivers the last known good version of the site.
Expired domain content recovery
Domains with established backlink profiles are bought and sold regularly. Recovering the original content from the archive and re-publishing it maintains topical relevance for the domain's backlinks and helps Google associate the domain with its original subject matter.
Platform shutdown recovery
Website builder platforms shut down. SaaS hosting companies go bankrupt. When the platform hosting your site disappears, so does your content — unless it was archived. We recover sites from any platform that was publicly accessible.
Accidental deletion recovery
A wrong click in a CMS, an incorrect rm -rf command, a developer who deleted the wrong files — accidental deletions account for a significant portion of our recovery requests.
