    Is this shared hosting your own server? If it is hosted with someone else I would be going to them to determine what has happened.

    Now, it is your domain, but the poster asked about your hosting for that domain.
    CHeck with your host and see if it is their server that is open to hacking.

    Don't know if this works in all cases, or in any case except mine.
    I had one that got hacked and hacked and hacked, no matter what I did.
    So I switched host companies, made the main page a .php and no problems since.

    It doesnt necessarily mean that they have hacked your website thru FTP password

    The webhost needs to figure out why you got hacked. If it is something you installed its not their job to fix it but they should be able to figure out what happened if its shared hosting. If not, you need to get a server admin freelance to help you out.
