Hi,
I have a free hosting, my website is : www.kiloranmag.org.uk

I am having trouble with the site being redirected.
Is it being hijacked, hacked or do you have any issues with your hosting?

Any advise would be helpful for I need to learn and understand.
Is there anything that can be put in place to avoid this happening?

when anybody accesses my website it shows : ps.stivenfernando.com

then a lot of other addresses before a final landing on :-

https://upgradeinstall24.findtostab...94a86c-86fc-491f-9677-3f9b5a0b39a3&sub=l72345

Any help please

The short answer after doing some google magic is yes, you have been hacked, see this discussion on wordpress.org: https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hacked-138/

I sorted the edit the hack made on your mySQL, they had edited the site (url), so while using your domain they were able to actually load the files from their server through a JavaScript file.

According to that post, the inject is likely done to header.php of your active theme (may be in the others as well).

Getting fresh files, and replacing the ones currently in your account, from wordpress.org is recommended. Also make sure every plugin/theme you have is up to date, and remove any one you are not actively using.

Yeah, always nice with a bit variations.

The account restores are a bit easier though, mostly click, copy and run a simple command :)
