Our website redirecting visitors to another website
| Posted by GoogieHost, 11-19-2014, 09:46 PM |
| Hello,
I am not sure you guys allow or not but am really frustrated these days because my website googiehost.com some times redirecting to a .de shopping website. I manually checked each and every file to find this url but found nothing.
After scanning my website with few online tools then it shows there is a hp hosts phishing page.
I was wondering if anyone can help me to fix this out...

| Your website is compromised and there should be suspicious code. I just scan it using Sucuri and it is showing compromised websites:

| There are many server management companies out there who can do this at an affordable cost, however, I would have contacted the hosting company first to see if they could assist with the issue for free.
You may scan your website and remove the malicious code / files and upgrade the applications installed on the website. That should prevent such issues from re-occurring.

| Right click your page in browser and click view source. Search for the domain it redirects to or what I usually do for some clients that move to us from another ISP and already has their site compromised is to search for "http" and review each link. You'll usually easily find the links causing the issue and remove them.

| If your using Wordpress I recommend: https://wordpress.org/plugins/sucuri-scanner/
If you are using a VPS, use Maldetect:
If you are on shared hosting, as the above said ask your host. It could be a simple Meta redirect and a PHP Shell, or it could be worse.

| 1
Check the .htaccess file of the website if you see unwanted code in the .htaccess please remove it because .htaccess is also used redirecting tool
2
If you did not found any suspicious code please update any Web application you are suing like WP,Joomla,Druble,WHMCS etc
3
You need to install Linux Malware Detector and Pyxsoft Anti Malware & Security
Please let us know what is you situation
Hope it helps

| If you're running a Wordpress website, then you could install a Wordfence plugin to scan all your website files for malicious codes. You webpages could be encoded with eval base 64, so only editing one PHP file that you came across might not be enough.
Besides, I would also recommend reinstalling WP core, your theme and your MySql database (if you have a backup).
Finally change your WP, FTP, SSH, MySQL and Cpanel passwords. If your site was hacked then your passwords must be changed ASAP.
Someone suggested checking the malicious URL on your website by using the source code from a browser. That's a good idea to start with.
