Our website takedown service removes sites that are themselves unlawful: phishing pages, fake sites impersonating your brand, pirated copies of your content, non-consensual imagery, fraud and clearly defamatory sites. Every takedown goes through the site's host, registrar, CDN, the search engines or a formal legal notice. From $3,000 per site, quoted after assessment, and you pay only when it's removed.

How it works
Send us the address. Our website takedown service starts by confirming the site is unlawful, not just unwelcome, and naming the ground: phishing, impersonation, copyright, intimate imagery, fraud or defamation. If there isn't one, we decline the case and tell you why.
We identify the host, the CDN in front of it, the domain registrar and any payment or ad partners, using public records such as WHOIS and IP data. Many unlawful sites sit behind a CDN, which can disclose the real host.
Each provider gets a report under its own abuse policy or the law that binds it: abuse reports for phishing and fraud, DMCA notices for piracy, DSA notices for EU providers, and legal notices for defamation. Phishing pages also go to the browser safety lists that warn visitors.
While the takedown proceeds, we ask Google and Bing to remove the site's pages from their results under their policies, so fewer people find it. If the site moves to a new host or domain, the same evidence supports fresh reports.
The price is tier-based on where the site is hosted and which laws apply, from $3,000 per site, confirmed after assessment. You pay only when it's removed. If we can't remove it, you don't pay — any deposit is refunded in full.
Legal grounds
Hosting providers, CDNs and domain registrars enforce abuse policies covering phishing, fraud, malware and illegal content; ICANN-accredited registrars must investigate abuse reports they receive.
ICANN Registrar Accreditation Agreement §3.18 ↗US hosts and platforms keep their safe harbour only if they expeditiously remove material identified in a valid notice from the copyright owner or an authorised agent.
17 U.S.C. §512(c) ↗Hosting services operating in the EU must offer a way to report illegal content, process each notice diligently and explain their decision — including when they refuse.
Regulation (EU) 2022/2065, Art. 16 ↗Google removes certain results from Search on request: doxxing content and personal contact details, non-consensual intimate imagery, results from sites with exploitative removal practices, and content subject to valid legal requests.
Google Search Help — removal policies ↗False statements of fact that damage a reputation can be removed on legal notice, and in some cases by court order. If a case needs a court order, we tell you up front.

Some hosts reply that they only rent out servers, and some don't reply at all. That is where escalation starts. ICANN-accredited registrars must investigate abuse reports, and they can suspend a domain used for phishing or fraud. A CDN can stop serving the site and identify the host behind it. The network the host rents capacity from has its own abuse policy. EU hosts must decide on DSA notices and explain a refusal with a statement of reasons, which we can challenge. Browser safety lists and search engines can cut off the site's visitors while the rest proceeds. If a case truly needs a court order, we tell you up front.
A website takedown service can be misused, so here is our line. We act only against sites that are themselves unlawful: they steal credentials, impersonate a real business to deceive people, distribute your content without permission, publish intimate images without consent, defraud people, or exist to spread clearly defamatory claims. The test is the law and each provider's own rules, not whether a site is inconvenient for you.
We do not take down lawful websites. That includes competitors, critics, review sites, activists and journalists, even when what they publish is harsh. We never use technical disruption of any kind: no attacks, no hacking, no overloading servers. Every removal goes through the host, the registrar, the CDN, the search engines or a formal legal notice, and every action is documented with its legal basis.
A website depends on several companies at once. Each can act against abuse on its own part of the chain, and each has different rules.
Phishing and fraud sites tend to come down fastest, because hosts and registrars treat them as clear-cut abuse. Defamation is slower: providers want a clear legal basis, and some will act only on a court order. If the domain name itself copies your trademark, a domain dispute under the UDRP can transfer it to you; that is a legal proceeding, and we tell you if you need counsel for it.
If a site is taking money or passwords from people right now, use the free routes at once. They help immediately, and everything you save becomes evidence for the takedown.

Case files
A website publishing defamatory claims was traced through the CDN in front of it to its origin host and removed on legal notice.
OperationA forum distributing non-consensual intimate images of women was reported to its infrastructure providers under their abuse policies and EU notice-and-action rules.
OperationA live phishing page impersonating Poste Italiane was reported to its host and registrar under their abuse policies and taken down.
Questions
Through the companies that run its infrastructure. A WHOIS lookup and an IP check reveal most of the host, CDN and registrar, and each one can be reported under its abuse policy or the relevant law, with evidence. It only works if the site is unlawful, and it is slow when providers don't respond, which is where escalation matters.
No. A competitor's lawful website is not something we will touch, whatever it says about its prices or yours. If a competitor copies your content, the copied pages can be removed with a DMCA notice, and false statements of fact about you can be addressed with a defamation notice. The rest of the site stays up.
It depends on the provider and the legal ground. Hosts and registrars tend to act quickly on clear phishing and fraud; piracy and defamation cases take longer, especially with offshore hosts. You get an estimate after assessment, together with the tier price.
From $3,000 per site with Nullify. The tier depends on where the site is hosted and which jurisdictions are involved, because an offshore host with no working abuse desk takes more work than a mainstream provider. You get the price after assessment, and you pay only when it's removed.
It can happen. A takedown removes the site from that host or registrar, and some operators move. The same evidence usually supports quick reports to the new providers, and search delisting makes the new copy harder to find. We tell you at assessment how a reappearance would be handled.
Yes. Reporting abuse to a host, registrar or CDN is how the system is meant to work, and providers publish abuse contacts for exactly that reason. What is not legal is attacking or disrupting a site yourself, and we never do it, whatever the site has done.
