| Sep 10, 2021 at 2:20 | comment | added | Mike Ciffone | @PaulShan If you have a production site on the same server as the hacked site you don't care about, to me, that's even more reason to spin up a new server for your production site. I'd keep anything I want to rank as far away as possible. | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 2:10 | comment | added | Paul Shan | @MikeCiffone I cannot because I have a website hosted on there that I actually need to host. Right now I believe I have removed all the malware, but need to get the bad redirects off search engines | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 2:07 | comment | added | Mike Ciffone | @PaulShan Just turn the server off | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 2:05 | comment | added | Paul Shan | @MikeCiffone For right now I just want to delete everything and remove 2 websites off google | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 1:58 | comment | added | Mike Ciffone | Personally, I would destroy the server and rebuild on a $5 DO droplet. I'd then harden it and put up some legit content that's topically in line with what I'd eventually want to rank for. Submit to search console, wait till it's indexed, and then either leave it alone or shut off the droplet till I actually wanted to build it out. | |

@davidgo Would I put https://example.com/ in the clear cache section and that should essentially clear all the cache for all of my website. As said before, both my hacked domains had nothing on it.

@davidgo when I search for site:example.com on google, there are pages upon pages of results of the hacked backlinks

| Sep 10, 2021 at 1:02 | comment | added | davidgo | Yes, but you should be able to get a list of URLs and submit them to google to remove. support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846?hl=en | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 0:38 | comment | added | Paul Shan | @Someone_who_likes_SE There is no option to recrawl and re-cache my entire website. If there was, there would be only one page, which is index.php | |
