Bluehost is a company that offers web and email hosting services. It is part of the Endurance International Group and is among the 20 largest web hosts in the world.
Millions of websites globally trust Bluehost services. So, a crash in the Bluehost servers can put a large part of the global internet in trouble.
That said, for a few days the Bluehost hosting and email services have been down and not working (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13).
Bluehost hosting and email services currently down
Reports on the issue have been surfacing on social platforms like Twitter throughout the last weekend.
Currently, many sites that depend on Bluehost hosting services are completely inaccessible. The situation is causing serious issues for both users and website owners.
The crash in Bluehost services also affects emails. Apparently, website owners are receiving emails through the platform intermittently or with a lot of delay.
Also, other users are completely unable to access the platform from which they can manage emails.
Hey, anyone else experiencing this? Seems that I’m getting email intermittently for the last 2 or 3 days. Tried calling support but there’s an hour + wait and when I try to access from cpanel, the pages time out.
Status pages seem non existent and chat seems to be shut off, so…I’m guessing they’re likely being hit by something pretty hard. Source
Bluehost team is already aware
The Bluehost team is already aware of the issue in question and is working on resolving it. However, no details on an estimated date of arrival for a fix yet.
Unfortunately, the crash in Bluehost hosting and email services has lasted all weekend and continues until the time of writing.
We will update this story once new related developments emerge in the future.
