Before anything is moved to the new server, a critical first phase of this project is to run a comprehensive security screening on our existing websites and completely eliminate any malware, malicious scripts, or viruses. The ideal candidate must ensure that only 100% clean, secure data is migrated to the new environment. Key Responsibilities Phase 1: Security Screening & Malware Removal (Crucial): * Scan all existing websites, directories, and databases on Hostgator for viruses, malware, malicious code injections, backdoor scripts, and vulnerabilities. * Completely clean up, quarantine, and patch the infected sites to ensure they are 100% safe. * Verify that the site is clean and not blacklisted by search engines or security protocols before proceeding with the move. Phase 2: Full Infrastructure Migration * Safely migrate all cleaned websites (including databases, files, SSL certificates, and configurations) to Hostinger. * Migrate all existing email accounts, ensuring zero data loss (all historical inbox data, folders, and archives must remain fully intact). Phase 3: DNS & Post-Migration Testing * Update MX records, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, and A records to point correctly to Hostinger with zero downtime or email bouncing. * Conduct thorough post-migration testing to ensure all website functionalities, contact forms, databases, and email sending/receiving capabilities work perfectly. * Implement basic security hardening on the new Hostinger server to prevent reinfection. Required Skills & Qualifications * Proven track record in website security, malware identification, and deep virus cleanup (experience with tools like Wordfence, Sucuri, Imunify360, or command-line malware scanners). * Expert experience migrating websites between cPanel (HostGator) and hPanel/VPS environments (Hostinger). * Deep understanding of email server migration protocols (IMAP/POP3) and migration tools. * Strong knowledge of WordPress/CMS architecture, MySQL databases, PHP configuration, and SSH/SFTP workflows. * Exceptional attention to data privacy, backup safety, and security best practices. Project Scope & Deliverables 1. A pre-migration security assessment report identifying the discovered issues/malware. 2. A complete, verified cleanup of all infected website files and databases. 3. Successful migration of about 4 to 6 website(s) and all email accounts. 4. Fully functional, live, and secure sites running on Hostinger. 5. A brief handover document detailing the new credentials, configuration changes, and recommendations to maintain site security moving forward. How to Apply Please submit your proposal detailing: 1. Your specific experience with **website malware cleanup** and the tools you use to ensure a site is completely virus-free. 2. Your experience handling HostGator to Hostinger migrations. 3. Your estimated timeline and fixed milestone rate for this project (broken into Phase 1: Cleanup and Phase 2: Migration). 4. A detailed plan on the Migration .

Hi, I’ve handled multiple malware cleanup and server migration projects involving infected WordPress sites, cPanel migrations, and email transfers with minimal downtime. My approach is to first take full backups, perform a deep scan of files and databases, remove any backdoors or malicious injections, and verify the sites are clean before migrating anything. Once verified, I’ll migrate the websites, databases, SSLs, and email accounts to Hostinger, update DNS records (MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, A records), thoroughly test all functionality, and implement security hardening on the new environment to prevent reinfection. I can provide a security assessment report, cleanup summary, migration plan, and post-migration documentation. Based on 4–6 websites and email accounts, I estimate approximately 2–4 days for complete cleanup, migration, and verification.

Hello, I can handle the complete malware cleanup, security review, and migration to Hostinger, including websites, databases, email accounts, DNS configuration, and post-migration testing. A few questions before I provide a final estimate: * How many websites are there exactly? * Have you already received any notifications from HostGator, Google, Wordfence, or another provider indicating that the websites are infected or compromised? * Are all websites built on WordPress, and do any of them use custom plugins or custom-developed functionality? As part of the project, I will first perform a full security audit and cleanup, then migrate only verified clean data to the new server. After everything is completed, I will also provide a detailed document with recommendations on how to maintain the websites and reduce the risk of future infections. Looking forward to your reply. Thanks, Marko

Timeline and budget are just placeholders until we discuss the exact scope. We understand this is a high-risk migration where security comes first—before any data moves, the priority is to fully identify and eliminate malware, backdoors, and injected scripts across all sites. The goal isn’t just migration, but ensuring you don’t carry any vulnerabilities into Hostinger. Our approach: * Perform a full security audit across files, databases, and server logs using a combination of manual review and tools like Imunify360 / Wordfence / CLI-based malware scanners to detect hidden injections and compromised core files. * Clean and patch infected WordPress/CMS installations, verify database integrity, and ensure all sites are fully de-blacklisted-ready before migration. * Execute a controlled migration from HostGator (cPanel) to Hostinger (hPanel/VPS), including files, databases, SSLs, and full email migration via IMAP sync, followed by DNS configuration (A, MX, SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and post-migration validation. We’ve handled similar security-first migrations where the focus was not only moving infrastructure but ensuring zero reinfection risk, clean email delivery, and stable uptime across multiple domains. Do you already have recent backups available, or should we start with a full forensic backup before the cleanup begins? Best regards, Redstone
