My website is down, what do I do?
A site that will not load is alarming, but the cause is usually one of a few things. Work through these quickly.
- Confirm it is really down. Try loading it in a private/incognito window and on your mobile data (not just office Wi-Fi). Sometimes it is only your local network or a cached error.
- Check the exact error. Note whether you see a "500", "503", "database connection" error, a browser DNS error, or a blank page; each points to a different cause and has its own fix.
- Check your account status. Log in to your client area at my.dirhamaday.ae. An overdue invoice or a suspension for exceeding resource limits (DirhamGuard) can take a site offline; resolving it restores service.
- Check recent changes. Did you just update a plugin, edit
.htaccess, or change DNS? Undo the last change if you can. - Look at error logs in the DirhamHost panel for clues.
