Ask HN: What to do when someone clones your site?

Our B2B SaaS had its entire website cloned at another domain. The cloner then took the time to create a new logo and change a few colors.

We reached out to the hosting provider, and the registrar, neither care.

The cloned website is hosted in Europe (Germany), with a small hosting provider. Domain registration appears to be hostinger.com.

Our concerns: Search engine trouble, potential customer confusion, lost sales.

We found the clone when ahrefs started reporting a new domain linking to one of our sites, because they'd helpfully cloned our entire footer.

Thanks for all your advice!
