Website, domain and hosting: solutions to the most common problems

When a website does not open or the browser shows a warning that the connection is not secure, the most common culprits are an expired SSL certificate, an incorrectly configured DNS record or an expired domain. In this category, we explain in one place how to quickly determine the cause and get the site back up, without unnecessary steps and technical jargon.

Besides site availability, we also cover problems that are not immediately visible: emails ending up in spam due to SPF, DKIM and DMARC settings, 500 server errors, slow loading and poor Core Web Vitals scores, moving to a new hosting and situations when Google does not index pages. Each guide contains concrete steps and an explanation of what to check first.
