When your site, checkout or email suddenly stops working, the first question is whether the problem is yours or belongs to a service you depend on. Getting that answer early saves hours. If a provider is down, the fix is to wait and keep customers informed. If it is your site, waiting does nothing.
How to tell an outage from your own problem
- Check the provider’s status page. Use the tables below. Status pages are often updated a little after an outage starts, so a green page in the first few minutes does not rule the provider out. Many pages let you subscribe to updates by email.
- Test from another network. Turn off Wi-Fi on your phone and load the site over mobile data, or ask someone elsewhere to try. If it works there, the problem may be your network, your DNS cache or a block on your IP address.
- Run an outside check. Our free website health check tests DNS, server response, redirects and the SSL certificate from outside your network, and links each problem it finds to a fix.
- Check the provider’s social channels and community forum. Official accounts on social media and provider forums often confirm a problem before the status page does. Many other people reporting the same thing at the same time is a strong sign it is not you.
If every provider looks healthy, go to the Emergency Room and pick the symptom you are seeing.
If it is them
- Do not make big changes during someone else’s outage. Moving DNS, swapping payment gateways or restoring a backup in the middle of an incident usually adds a second problem.
- Subscribe to the incident so you know when it is resolved.
- Tell your customers or clients what is happening, especially if checkout or email is affected.
- After it is resolved, check that orders, form entries and emails from the outage window went through.
We do not list web hosts on this page. Your host’s status page is usually linked from its control panel or support site.
