What happens if my website goes down?
We’re alerted within about half an hour, you get an email, and we fix it.
If you’re on a care plan:
- Our monitor checks your site every 15 minutes. Two failed checks in a row counts as down, so a one-second blip doesn’t raise an alarm.
- We get an alert straight away, and so do you (you can ask us to turn your emails off).
- We find the cause and fix it. If the problem is with your hosting company, we deal with them for you where we can.
- When it’s back, you get another email saying how long it was down.
Every outage is listed on your Website care page and in your monthly report.
