Is your old site in the Wayback Machine?
Type your old website address. This page asks the Internet Archive for its newest copy. Nothing is saved, and we see only that a check ran, never the address.
You can also look yourself: open web.archive.org, type your address, and pick a date on the calendar.
What comes back, and what does not
Comes back
- The pages, words and photos the archive kept, with the look it kept: your colors, layout and logo.
- Your site on your own domain, with HTTPS (the padlock), hosted for one year from the day it goes live.
- Or, if you prefer, the whole site as a ZIP of plain files you can put on any host.
Does not come back
- Pages and photos the archive never saved. Your free check shows the copy, so you can see what it kept first.
- Things that ran on the old server: contact forms, shop checkouts, logins and bookings. We swap each contact form for a plain email link.
- A new design. Your site comes back as it was.

Questions
What if the copy is missing pages or images?
We tell you what the archive kept before your site goes live. If it kept too little to rebuild your site, we refund the $49 in full. Terms.
My domain expired. Can you still help?
If you can still renew it at your domain provider, do that first. If someone else owns it now, we put your site on a new domain you buy in your own name, or send you the files as a ZIP.
Do you need my passwords?
No. You make 2 small changes at your domain provider, and we send the exact steps. We never ask for a password.
The newest copy is a parking page or an error.
That happens after a domain lapses. Open the Wayback Machine's calendar for your address and find the last day your site looked right. When you pay, type that year, and we use the copy from then.
Who does the work?
Tack, our AI personality, reads the archive copy, rebuilds the pages and puts them online. You see a preview link first.
Are you part of the Internet Archive?
No. The Internet Archive is a nonprofit library, and the Wayback Machine is its service. Brasspage is an independent studio. We only restore a site for its own business. If the archive saved your site, think about a gift to it.
