Website Rescue

Your site is down and the person who built it isn't answering.

Maybe it is throwing a database error. Maybe the domain lapsed, the host suspended the account, or a developer walked off mid-project. Whatever it is, the fix starts with one phone call, not a contact form you wait three days on.

Call or text 540-320-0514 or send a text ›

Five minutes on the phone beats an hour of email. We answer during business hours, look at your site while we talk, and tell you what is actually wrong.

Sound familiar

If any of this is happening right now, call.

These are the calls we get most. Every one of them is something we have fixed before.

"Error establishing a database connection"
The site loads but shows nothing but that line. The database service crashed, filled up, or lost its credentials.
The whole site is a blank white page
A fatal error is being hidden. Something in the code or a server update broke it and no error page is showing.
The domain expired
Your address stopped resolving or shows a parking page. There is a renewal window, but it closes. This one is time sensitive.
Your web person disappeared
No replies for weeks. You are not sure who holds the domain, the hosting, or the files. We can trace most of it.
The host suspended the account
An unpaid invoice, a terms complaint, or a resource limit. The site is intact but locked. It needs someone to sort out the account.
It got hacked
Spam pages, pharmacy keywords, redirects to somewhere else, or a red Google warning screen in front of your site.
The security certificate expired
Visitors get a full-page "your connection is not private" warning and most of them leave before reading it.
You've vanished from Google
The site works but a search for your business name returns nothing. Often a leftover "noindex" block, a drop after downtime, or a site that was never submitted.
A build stalled halfway
The developer quit, the launch date is close, and someone needs to pick up a half-finished site and get it live.
What happens

Three steps, starting today.

1
You call, we pick up
Tell us the business name and the site address. We pull it up while we are on the phone and start looking. No intake queue.
2
We diagnose it, free
You get a straight answer on what broke, what it takes to fix, and a real timeline. If it is a quick fix we may have it done before we hang up.
3
You decide
Anything answered on the phone, by text, or by email is free. Hands-on fixes go on the consulting rate: 50 dollars the first hour, 25 after, with double time outside business hours. Bigger jobs get a fixed price in writing first. Either way you know the number before work starts, and you are under no obligation to continue.

Can't talk right now?

Paste your site address and a number to reach you. We will call you back today during business hours. The phone is still faster.

Goes straight to us. Your information is never sold or shared.

Who you're calling

A person, not a ticket system.

BizPinPro is one developer in Dublin, Virginia. Every site we build is written from scratch, no WordPress and no page builders, which is also why we are comfortable going into someone else's mess and figuring out how it was put together.

The phone number reaches the person who does the work. There is no tier-one script, no callback from a different department, and no upsell before we have even seen the problem. The first look costs nothing because most of the time we can tell you what is wrong in a few minutes.

Based in the New River Valley, working nationwide. Local businesses in Dublin, Christiansburg, Radford, Blacksburg and Pulaski can meet in person. Everyone else, a down site is a phone call and a screen share. See our Google Business Profile for reviews and hours.
Questions

Straight answers to what people ask.

My website says "Error establishing a database connection." What does that mean?

It means the site loaded but could not reach its database, so none of the content can display. Common causes are a crashed database service, a full disk on the server, a password that changed, or a host that suspended the account. Most cases are fixable within a day once someone can get into the server. Call or text 540-320-0514 and we will look at yours.

My web developer stopped answering. How do I get control of my website?

You need three things: the domain registrar login, the hosting account, and the site files or database. If you have any one of them we can usually trace the rest from public DNS records and work with you to recover access. If you have none of them, it is harder but not always hopeless. Send us whatever you have and we will tell you where you stand.

How fast can you get my site back up?

It depends on what broke and whether we can get into the accounts. A crashed service or an expired certificate is often same-day. Rebuilding a site whose files are gone takes longer. We tell you which situation you are in on the first call, with a real timeline, not a guess to keep you on the hook.

Do you work with businesses outside Virginia?

Yes. BizPinPro is based in Dublin, Virginia and a lot of our clients are here in the New River Valley, but a down website is a phone-and-screen-share problem. We handle rescue work for businesses anywhere in the country.

My domain expired and the site is gone. Can I get it back?

Usually yes, if you move quickly. An expired domain sits in a grace period for a few weeks where you can still renew it at the normal price. After that it gets more expensive and eventually goes to auction. If your domain just lapsed, call today. This is one where days matter.

My site was hacked and shows spam pages or a Google warning. What now?

Take it offline or put it behind a holding page first so it stops harming visitors and your search ranking. Then the injected files and database entries have to be found and removed, every password rotated, and the site resubmitted to Google for review. We do this as a fixed-scope job after we see how deep it went.

My website doesn't show up on Google at all. Why?

The most common cause we see is a "noindex" instruction left on the site after launch. A developer blocks search engines while building, forgets to remove the block, and Google quietly honors it for months. Other causes: the site was down or throwing errors the last time Google crawled it and got dropped, it is new and was never submitted to Search Console, or an old hack got it flagged and removed. We can tell which one it is in a few minutes by checking the page source, the robots file, and your Search Console coverage. The fix is usually quick once the cause is known.

Our agency's developer quit mid-project and we launch next week. Can you finish it?

Sometimes. It depends on how the half-built site was put together and whether the code is in a state someone else can pick up. Send us the repository or the files and the deadline. We will give you an honest read on whether it is finishable in your window or whether the smart move is a smaller scope for launch.

What does a website rescue cost?

Nothing to find out what is wrong. If it is something we can answer on the phone, by text, or by email, there is no charge, same as the rest of this site. Hands-on fix work is billed at our consulting rate: 50 dollars for the first hour and 25 for each additional hour during business hours, Monday to Saturday 8am to 5pm. Nights, Sundays, and holidays are double time, 100 for the first hour and 50 after. Bigger jobs like a hack cleanup or a full rebuild get a fixed price in writing before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Will you keep hosting my site after you fix it, or is this one-time only?

Either way. Plenty of rescue calls are one-time and that is fine. If you want it handled going forward, our managed hosting starts at 25 dollars a month and includes uptime monitoring so the next problem reaches us before it reaches your customers.

The longer it sits, the more it costs you.

Every day a site is down is a day customers look you up and find nothing. Call now and let's get it back.
