In today’s world, your website is often the first impression your business makes. But what happens when it disappears, gets hacked, or becomes inaccessible? Losing your website can be devastating — it means lost leads, lost revenue, and lost trust. That’s where Small Apricot’s Website Recovery and Restoration Services come in.
With over 15 years of experience in WordPress, website design, and digital restoration, we help businesses and individuals recover old, expired, hacked, or deleted websites and bring them back to life.
Whether you run an eCommerce store, a local business site, or a cultural/educational project, we understand how crucial your online presence is — and we’re here to make sure you never lose it permanently.
Why Website Recovery Matters
A lost or broken website isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a business risk. Without a functioning website:
- Customers can’t find you online.
- Your brand loses credibility.
- Competitors gain the upper hand.
- Years of content, SEO work, and trust-building may vanish.
But here’s the good news: in most cases, a website can be recovered. Our team specializes in identifying the root of the issue and applying the right method — whether it’s restoring from a backup, rebuilding from server archives, or recovering through cached data.

Every situation is different, which is why we provide customized website recovery solutions.
We’ve helped:

👉 Our approach ensures not only recovery, but also long-term stability so the same problem doesn’t happen again.
Common Scenarios Where Website Recovery is Needed
Many of our clients come to us in panic, thinking their websites are gone forever. In reality, most problems are solvable. Here are the most common cases we deal with:

Cyberattacks are more common than ever. If your site has been hacked:
