If you are unable to display your site due to a 500 error in WordPress, or if you are seeing a blank page, it could be for the following reasons:
-
You are using a theme or plugin that does not support the PHP version in use on your domain
It has been confirmed that some legacy themes and plugins have problems with PHP versions 7.0 and later.
In this case, the problem may be resolved by changing from PHP8 to 7.4 or from 7.x to 5.6.
See here for how to change the PHP version. -

It is possible to exclude viruses to some extent by scanning by clicking "Details > Virus Scanner" in cPanel, but it is not possible to exclude all malicious programs. I think there is no choice but to check it visually.
Therefore, we would appreciate it if you could initialize the server and build the site again, or if it is difficult for you to deal with it yourself, please consider consulting with a specialized company such as the following.

In addition, due to being tampered with once, the current URL continues to be judged as a fraudulent site, and even after initialization, there have been multiple cases in which an SSL certificate was not issued when applying free original SSL. We are waiting for you. Therefore, when initializing the server due to tampering, we will also inform you to change the initial domain.
After confirming and agreeing to the above, if you wish to initialize
We apologize for the inconvenience, but please contact our support with the following information.
