Hi,

I recently move to new server, 3 months ago.

When I open my websites (63 on a VPS server) they all work fine and without any Deceptive red screens.
When I login to my VPS interface using a hostname server.domain.com, no deceptive warnings.

But when I browse the server IP, it's flagged in red as deceptive.
I called Godaddy support, they installed a security tools and assigned my problem to a technical support, after several days they recommended me to review Google's process and request a review against your server's IP address.
Then I turned to cPanel support and raised a ticket, they informed me that they didn't find any malware scripts on the server, and they asked me to the same as Godaddy suggestion, request a review from Google afainst my server's IP address.

Please can you tell me what to do ?

I need to know what is the reason my server is flagged.

Thanks :)

But its not a URL, it an IP address, although I did it 2 months ago. But nothing happened.

Hope I can get a reply in this forums because I found nowhere else to contact Google support.

The deceptive warning screen has a link to report a mistake. You can also read our resources here to see how to remediate or appeal a problem: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/security/hacked/

Hi,

What do you mean a link to report a mistake? You mean false positive flag?

I watched the video but found nothing related, a specialist from cPanel and from Godaddy confirmed the server is clean, and tested all my users with Google testing tools. 

Regarding the Google Webmaster Tools, you know we can add a website but not a server or IP address.

If the IP is flagged by mistake, how can i inform Google to whitelist it?

Thank you
