When I open my website with www. It loads up fine.

When I open it without the www. Its a Chinese website.

Any ideas what could be going on here?
 
Check your htaccess. Is it WordPress?
Sounds like you've been hacked yep
 
When you fixed it, did you need to revert back time and lose lots of new published articles?

I'll tell you something, and I don't want to discourage you, I never did.
The problem persisted, and as the domain wasn't really that important to me, I dropped it.

This domain is very important to me so i have to fix this.
 
you need to clean the install from the bugs and backdoors. first you need to update all plugins themes and of course wp itself.
then attackers usually place php scripts to keep access to the blog, maybe add extra users etc, so you need to take care of that.
otherwise if you just copy it to a new server, you will still be hacked.
 
I'd say share more info regarding the issue. Some developers here might help.

If not, hire someone.

So sorry to hear that, man. I definitely know how frustrating it is.
 
If this was on a better host would it not have happened?

I am currently using Linode.

I have just contacted them to see what they have to say about it.
 
it can happen on any host, its normally not their fault if you have unmanaged hosting. unless its managed hosting in which case they should keep their shit secure.

I will post an advert on upwork now.

How much should i be offering them? Is this a massive job?

I can't make that claim, really. I'd say share more info with anyone here that has a technical background.
 
The plugin "file manager" recently had a vulnerability that caused hundreds of thousands of websites to be hacked. Maybe its that?
 
You are just now checking this now or it used to work properly but suddenly this is happening?

1. Did you setup your site or some1 else did.
2. Did you setup ur dns A records & Cname records. whereever you bought the domain you need to add cname or a records for www sub domain too to point to u r ip.
- Login to the domain host & check the dns of ur domain, if u have setup cloudflare, check in cloudflare.

3. .htaccess file location.
- open ur webhosting cpanel -> filemanager. htaccess file will b in /home/websitename/public_html folder of ur site.
or
- open filezilla use the info provided by ur webhost, .htaccess file will be in same above location.

|||||||||||||||||

@ 301 redirect for www version to normal version of site in htaccess file looks like this.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.website\.us$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/website\.us\/" [R=301,L]
