I need my website cloned, which an employee took hostage of and won't give me access to run it. I own it in GoDaddy, but he has it in a webhosting platform called Render, and I don't have access to that. So I need it cloned and give me access to it

Hi, With 15+ years of experience, I can recreate your existing website on WordPress or Webflow using the live version as reference, so you fully control hosting, content, and future updates from your GoDaddy account. I’ll ensure the cloned site is mobile-friendly, fast, and SEO-ready. Do you also need help reconnecting your domain and business email properly? Let’s discuss in chat as I have some queries to ask regarding the project to proceed further.

Your posting caught my attention. Since you already own the domain in GoDaddy, the safest approach is to recreate the current live site on infrastructure fully under your control and then reconnect the domain cleanly. What I’ll handle: Full website cloning from the live version Rebuild/deploy on your own hosting/server Domain reconnection through GoDaddy Asset/content extraction where possible Responsive layout preservation Functional testing before launch Important focus: Recovering operational control quickly Minimizing downtime Securing all future access credentials Ensuring you fully own hosting, code, and deployment access Recommended process: Clone current public-facing frontend Rebuild missing backend/API connections if required Deploy to new hosting/VPS Update DNS from GoDaddy Verify SSL, forms, and functionality Deliverables: Fully controlled replacement website Hosting/admin access under your ownership Deployment credentials Backup copy of the site Documentation for future access management Portfolio: https://www.freelancer.com/u/Microlent Ready to review the live site and start the recovery/migration process immediately. — Rajesh Rolen

Hello, I understand you need a full clone of your GoDaddy-hosted website from Render and immediate access control restored. My approach is to create a faithful, PHP-driven clone with the same design and functionality, set up secure access and ownership transfer, and establish ongoing hosting controls and documentation. I’ll collect assets, code, and design elements you legally own, reproduce the front-end in HTML/CSS and PHP where needed, and ensure the clone runs independently with proper security and backups. I’ll also implement a straightforward access handoff process so you can manage the site going forward. What is the current status of the Render account ownership and any available redirects or recovery methods, and do you have backups of the original site to guide the cloning process? Best regards,

Interesting project, I will clone your entire website — front-end design, content, and functionality — and deploy it on hosting you fully control under your GoDaddy account. You will have complete ownership of every file and database. Since the site is hosted on Render, I will pull the live version using a full crawl of the public-facing pages and reconstruct the structure, assets, and styling. If there is any dynamic backend — forms, login, or database-driven content — I will rebuild that logic so nothing is lost in the migration. Questions: 1) Does the site have any dynamic features such as user accounts, a database, or a payment system, or is it primarily static pages? 2) Do you have a hosting plan set up on GoDaddy already, or would you prefer a recommendation for where to deploy? Looking forward to your response. Best regards, Kamran

Hi there, You need to regain control of your website by recreating it from the publicly visible version and moving it into an environment you fully own, since the current Render hosting access is not available. I can rebuild/clone the visible frontend, recreate the pages, layout, styling, forms, images, and basic functionality, then deploy it under your GoDaddy-controlled domain or new hosting account with admin access handed over to you. I’ll only work from content/assets you own or can legally provide, and I’ll make sure the final setup is fully under your control. This fits my work with website recreation, migrations, hosting setup, domain/DNS connection, WordPress/custom builds, and secure handover. Please share the website URL and confirm what platform you want it rebuilt on. Qasar
