I had repeated outages across multiple sites on the same Hostinger account during active ad campaigns. Errors included: Error establishing a database connection 503 Service Unavailable 504 Gateway Time-out Support first pushed generic explanations like wp-config, WordPress troubleshooting, and DNS propagation. Later they admitted the real issue was server-side and not caused by my site or my resource limits. Direct support statements: So this was not my configuration, not my limits, and not a simple WordPress issue. It was their server environment. That is a serious problem when you are paying for ads and sending traffic to the site in real time. Document everything. The first support reply may blame your site, while later replies quietly admit the actual issue is server-side. submitted by /u/Ok-Satisfaction2083 [link] [comments]

Our dedicated server with Contabo has been completely inaccessible since approximately 3:30 AM PT on March 21, 2026. As of this post it has been over 106 hours with no resolution and no technical update. Here is the timeline. March 21, 3:30 AM: Server goes offline. We are unable to connect via SSH or access any hosted services. Hard reset triggered through the control panel, no effect. This is not the first time we have experienced this issue with Contabo. We have had recurring crashes requiring hard resets and two prior incidents requiring manual on-site intervention. We have continued giving Contabo the benefit of the doubt… March 21, 12:47 PM: Server still down. Support ticket #16240119719 opened approximately 9 hours after the outage began, after attempting to resolve the issue ourselves. March 21, 1:23 PM: First response from Contabo (Srashti). On-site technicians notified, “actively investigating.” Promises an update within 2 hours. No update ever comes. March 21, 7:06 PM: No update received. We follow up. It has now been 18 hours since the outage began. March 21, 7:07 PM: Response from Contabo (Vitalina). No ETA, no technical details. “Addressing this is our top priority.” March 22, 2:07 PM: We follow up again. 31 hours since outage began. March 23, 7:04 AM: First contact from Contabo in approximately 36 hours (Abdulla). “Investigating, will follow up.” March 23, 7:57 AM: Second response from Abdullah. Still waiting on the on-site team for a server that has now been down for over 52 hours. Contabo advertises qualified engineers on-site 24/7, 365 days a year. At this point it is worth asking whether there is actually anyone on-site capable of physically attending to a single server. March 23, 4:58 PM: We follow up. Over 48 hours. We ask if anyone has even looked at the server and request to speak to a manager. March 23, 6:16 PM: Response from Jose, Technical Support. Cites “higher than usual volume of cases” and “weekend hours” as factors in the delay. Still no technical details, no ETA. Contabo advertises 24/7 support — “weekend hours” is not a caveat anywhere in their marketing. We also checked their public status page at contabo-status.com at this time: zero posted outages, zero maintenance, zero service degradation of any kind. If they are handling an unusually high volume of cases, none of it is being logged publicly. March 23: Contabo processes payment for the next month of service. The server has been completely offline for over 60 hours at this point. March 24, 12:52 PM: We send a formal escalation email addressed to Contabo management. We note the breach of their advertised 99.9% uptime SLA, the billing during confirmed downtime, the status page showing zero incidents, and request five specific written responses. At the time of sending, contabo-status.com still shows zero interruptions, zero maintenance, and zero incidents of any kind — 81 hours into a total outage with an open support ticket. March 24, 1:47 PM: Response from Radovan, identified as Deputy Team Leader. No root cause, no ETA, no acknowledgment of the billing issue, no acknowledgment of the status page discrepancy, no commitment to compensation. Identical in substance to every previous response. March 24, 4:57 PM — End of day 4. No response addressing any of our concerns, no technical details, no restoration timeline, and no access to our server, data, or backups, only further customer service apologies. March 24, 11:16 PM: Response from unnamed “Contabo Support” stating they are reviewing our case and will get back with an update shortly. March 25, 7:39 AM: We request updates. March 25, 7:46 AM: We receive a response from Kevin that “Regrettably, we have not heard back from the on-site team, nor from our US team”. At this point I’m at a loss. I’m a systems administrator by trade, and I have never dealt with this level of incompetence and indifference in my life. I would say I don’t recommend this company, but I think the timeline speaks for itself. I have dealt with 12-24h delays in support and frustrating situations with OVH and others before, but never anything like this. submitted by /u/Past_Neighborhood_38 [link] [comments]

So as of the moment I’m using Hostinger’s premium web hosting (roughly $4.77/INR 449 a month). It works fine for the most part, but the issue starts whenever we have a restock for limited items. Which we do twice or thrice a month. The site crashes with traffic, leaving many people unable to place their order with the message “Error establishing a database connection.” It would usually resolve on its own within 30 minutes or so. But as you can imagine our customer hates this. Is there any alternative in a similar price range that would work for us? For context we are a small business based in Mumbai, India. The majority of our traffic comes from India. submitted by /u/FIREFIRE_CPB [link] [comments]
