    Hi all,

    My site was down for few days, the host suspend notice went to spam folder, so i missed it.

    After few days, when i found, it was too late, my site was removed from search results.

    In webmaster, i did not find any crawl error or messages, I resubmitted the site map, google bot is crawling the site. but, impressions are zero in search results according to the webmaster.

    Anyone faced similar issue and come out of that situation, please guide me.

    It will take time to regain your index and rankings. better focus on things that you have done earlier to get ranking. BTW always make sure that your site is up and running smoothly.

    I remember the days when a site was gone, but the index lingered for
    weeks or even months on end, not anymore. If google sees your site is down,
    then you will be removed from index, and your trust with google takes a noise dive.

    Even if DP went down for a week, or month, they would sooner or later be indexed again,
    however, their rankings may or may not return; just because you are
    re-indexed does not mean your rankings will return as before, that may take more work and time.

    and to say your site was down a few days and you did not
    notice, well, that tells me a few things, but I will not go into that....

    My blog was down for 3 days because of server issues. Google removed all keyword rankings and pages from search results. After fixing the server issue, I used "fetch as Google" from Google search console and all my pages were reindexed within 24 hours and I got back my previous rankings.

    So, you do not have to worry about it. Give Google time to reindex your pages. Make sure, you have not deleted any important pages while your server was down.

    Have look at Google Search again or do a search on Google as site:yourdomain.com

    There are a ton of different companies that can blacklist you, other than Google. Have you checked to see if you're on the spam or blacklist for any of those? I'm not positive, but those may also effect your Google ranking.

    Don't worry your website will regain it's previous state with in couple of weeks.
    Use fetch as Google for your main URL's which are ranking well in SERP.

    Which hosting you are using and the reason of suspension (resources over used)?

    have they provide you the backup after account suspension or you already have?
