What a WordPress website down means
When your WordPress website is down, it is not one problem. It can mean your domain is not resolving, your hosting server is offline, PHP is crashing on every request, your SSL certificate expired, or your host suspended the account.
The fix for a WordPress website down depends entirely on the cause, which is why guessing or applying random fixes often wastes time while your site stays offline.
- DNS failure or expired domain
- Hosting outage or account suspension
- PHP crash causing 500 errors on every page
- Expired SSL certificate blocking browsers
- Database connection failure
First steps when your WordPress site goes offline
Check whether the problem affects all visitors or just you. Try loading the site in a private browser window and from a mobile connection. Check your hosting dashboard for alerts or suspension notices.
If your host shows the server is running, the problem is likely PHP, a plugin conflict, or a database issue rather than a full server outage.

FAQ
WordPress website down: questions before you hire help
My WordPress site is down: how fast can you help?
We assign a developer within 24 hours on one-off requests. Describe the outage when you register and we prioritise accordingly.
Can you fix a site down issue on any host?
Yes. We work with all major UK hosts including SiteGround, Kinsta, WP Engine, Cloudways, and cPanel-based servers.
Should I restore a backup myself first?
If you have a recent clean backup, tell us in your fix request. Otherwise our developers can restore from host backups or BugShield cloud backups on maintenance plans.
Why is my WordPress site showing 'This site can't be reached'?
This usually means a DNS problem, the domain has expired, or your hosting server is offline. It can also mean your host suspended the account. We diagnose which applies.
My host says my site is suspended. Can you help?
Yes. We work with your host to identify why the account was suspended, fix the underlying issue (often malware or resource overuse), and get the site restored.
Is a 500 error the same as a site being down?
A 500 error means the server is reachable but PHP crashed. A fully down site may not respond at all. Both are fixable, but the diagnosis differs.
Should I change my DNS while the site is down?
Only if you know the DNS change is the cause. Random DNS changes during an outage can make recovery harder. Tell your developer what you changed and when.
