I am using cwp to host this website https://mysorecabs.com

If you search site:mysorecabs.com in Google, you see the icon and title (SPAM) 100% different from what you see in view source or browser

I saw this in few more websites on the same server.

Looks  like something hacked at server level.

Please help

This hack has been around a while and mentioned in a number of threads here, search for mod_auth_form.so

There is a fake version that gets loaded and causes the likes of 'googlebot' to get a different page than other browsers.
In the first instance comment out (or remove) the loading of that module in your apache/conf/http.conf;
remove the file from the modules directory and then work on all the other security suggestions in threads here to clean up and lock them out.
