    There is a web site which we dealt with before. Its index/home page is removed from google only. Other pages are intact and there is no issue of penalty or panda effect. How can it regain its position? Here is the details of site: http://www.reginout.com

    Check for any hidden links or words in your Home page or unwanted content not related to your website theme.

    Check your .htaccess file. Wrong configuration of .htaccess file often cause such problem.

    I have cheked, your site is not penalized by Google.

    I must say, you should check .htaccess file

    If you do not mind, why dont you paste the content of your .htaccess file here

    Another thing to look at is the URL canonicalization for your site. If you look at the Google search for your site you will notice that your homepage is listed with this duplicate URL:
    http://www.reginout.com/?hop=99clicks

    http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&...018d3c18568d7dd&biw=1117&bih=550&pf=p&pdl=300

    The search engines will think that even though both URLs below go to the same page they have different URLs and the search engines will treat them as 2 separate pages so you could have duplicate content issues:
    http://www.reginout.com/
    http://www.reginout.com/?hop=99clicks

    Also, both www and non www versions of your site both work, so you will want to setup redirects from whatever version (www or non www) you decide to use to the other.

    @DhrubaJyotiDeka there is no .htaccess folder because the site is one shared hosting server.... thats what i know from the basic information shared with me.

    I checked your site. Your home page has duplicate content issue. So, you should rewrite your home page content & after that submit reconsideration request to google for indexing.

    Be it shared hosting or some other, .htaccess is quite mandatory for site's security.
