  I’m sorry to hear your site was hacked. Since your domain is registered through GoDaddy and your site is hoted by Hostpapa, it looks like this must be a self-hosted site, not a WordPress.com site.

  You’ve reached support for the free sites hosted at WordPress.com. To clear up any confusion, WordPress.com and WordPress.org are two different entities.

  You can find support for self-hosted/installed versions of WordPress here:

  Here is a guide on what to if your site’s been hacked:

  When you’re done, you may want to implement some (if not all) of the recommended security measures:

  Best of luck.
