Emergency recovery

Recover a lost website

If a host expired, a developer disappeared, a backup is unavailable, or a domain was reacquired, start with an archive restore check and choose the snapshot that best represents the site.

Start with the restore check

Enter the domain and choose the most recent available snapshot or a specific archived date. The flow keeps the recovery action first for urgent lost-site cases.

What can be recovered

Archived pages, images, styles, scripts, and other captured assets can be used when Archive.org has evidence for them. Unavailable archived resources are reported instead of hidden.

What you receive

The delivery path is built around preview, host-ready ZIP output, and clear reporting for anything the archive could not recover.

What to check before hosting

Review the preview, read the recovery-gap report, remove unwanted third-party scripts if needed, and configure hosting or DNS separately from the restoration package.
