What to Do When Your Website Is Down

Published on Jul 26, 2026 0 views

A down website is stressful, but a methodical check usually identifies the cause — and often a fix — within minutes.

Confirm It's Actually Down

Check from a different device, network, or a free "is it down" checking tool — sometimes it's a local network or DNS caching issue on your end, not the site itself.

Check Your CyberNet Status Page

If there's a known infrastructure issue affecting multiple accounts, it will typically be reflected on our status page before you even need to ask.

Did You Recently Make a Change?

A plugin update, a DNS change, or an edited configuration file are common triggers — reverting the most recent change often resolves the issue immediately.

Check for a Billing Issue

A missed payment resulting in suspension is a common, easily overlooked cause. Your Client Area will show if a service is currently suspended for this reason.

Check Your Domain's Expiration

An expired domain stops resolving entirely, which looks identical to a hosting outage from a visitor's perspective — verify your domain's status separately from your hosting.

When to Contact Support

If none of the above explains it, open a ticket immediately with what you've already checked — that context helps our team skip straight to the actual cause.
