Restore Your GitHub Account With the Help of DoNotPay

GitHub is a company that provides hosting services that enable developers to establish software for both private and open-source organizations. The firm is devoted to designing a platform where users can store and share code repositories with other coworkers, friends, classmates, and more. It was founded in 2008 by Chris Wanstrath, PJ Hyett, and Tom Preston-Werner and partnered with International Business Machines Corporation. GitHub has its headquarters in San Francisco, California.

Your GitHub account can be suspended, and you won't receive any notification about your account termination. The good news is that the termination of your account is not the end of the road, as you can appeal and have it restored if you believe it was accidentally suspended.

However, you might find the process frustrating, since many are times when your request will go unnoticed. You can trust DoNotPay to act on your behalf and write a demand letter to GitHub for better results.

What Might Cause Your GitHub Account to Be Suspended

When GitHub suspends your account, it means that your website will be taken out online. Possible reasons for the suspension could include:

1. Malware infection
2. Excessive use of Server Resources
3. Payment's failures
4. Policy violation

Detected Malware

Malware is very dangerous to your website, host, and the visitors who visit your site. GitHub will be quick to act if they detect the following Malware on your website:

• Spam links
• Deceptive Content
• Phishing Pages

Excessive Use of Server Resources

Your GitHub account will be terminated if your account has exceeded the server limit and CPU resources. When your account is experiencing a lot of traffic, it is an indication that it is going over the limit. Subsequently, when the account reflects analytics, it could signify a brute attack on our account.

Violations of Terms of Service

The content that you post on your website should adhere to the GitHub terms and conditions of service. Let's assume you are selling highly regulated substances; your account might be blocked for reasons.

Payment Reasons

You should pay all your subscriptions promptly to avoid your account termination. GitHub typically sends many invoices to your email to inform you of unpaid debt. If you have outstanding dues, make sure to settle them lest your account will be temporarily blocked until you pay.

Your blocked account may display any of the following messages:

• This account has been suspended; contact your hosting provider for further information
• This account has been suspended; either the domain has been overused or ran out of resources
• Your GitHub account has been banned for security-related reasons
• This page is not available at the moment, since your account has been suspended
• Your account has been banned for violating the terms and conditions of service. Please contact our customer care for more information.
• Your hosting has been suspended, kindly contact customer support to unsuspend your account
• This site is currently unavailable; if you are the owner, kindly contact your hosting provider, customer care to resolve your account.

What Can You Do if Your GitHub Account Has Been Suspended?

Though you are not guaranteed to have your account restored, you can try to remove malware from your suspended GitHub account. This, however, can be a critical problem to solve.

You can clear malware from your account through:

• Security plugins like MalCare to clean the account. MalCare is recommended because it protects more than two million accounts from malware attacks daily.
• You can hire a WordPress security expert to clean up your account from malware using FTP. WordPress will access your website files and clean them manually.
• Manually cleaning your website falls at the bottom of the list

By trying to clean your account, you stand a chance of having your GitHub account restored when you appeal.

Restore Your GitHub Account by Yourself

1. From an administrative account on the GitHub enterprise server, go to the upper right corner of the page and click on the unsuspend icon.
