I'm sorry to hear that your site was hacked... it seems they try every older CMS that they can find :( Looking at your site, I think you might still want to double check that everything has actually been removed. I looked at your site's indexed URLs together with a pharmaceutical keyword and it looks like there are still some URLs with hidden links to strange sites (using tinyurl to prevent the keywords from being added to this comment :-)): http://tinyurl.com/3rc8qt You can see the hidden links by going to one of those URLs and viewing the source code. For more feedback, I'd encourage you to start a thread in our Webmaster Help group at http://groups.google.com/group/Google_Webmaster_Help Hope it helps!

You can transfer your domain name for only $15 per year and purchase additional space as needed. There may be a limit on how much old data you can transfer, but I'd drop them a note and see if they can do it. I have a few domains (not my main one) with them and wordpress.com handles all the upgrades. Have you considered hosting at wordpress.com?
