Website Downtime During Specific Times

Why Does My Website Experience Downtime During Specific Times?

Website downtime during certain periods could be caused by several factors related to network conditions, server performance, or resource limitations. Here are common reasons why this might occur:

• Traffic Spikes: If your website experiences high traffic during specific times (e.g., peak business hours), it might exceed the allocated server resources (CPU, memory, or bandwidth), leading to temporary downtime or slow performance.
• Scheduled Maintenance: Sometimes, downtime aligns with planned maintenance windows by your hosting provider, where updates, patches, or hardware upgrades are performed to improve service stability and security.
• DDoS Attacks: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks target websites by overwhelming them with fake traffic, often at predictable times, causing service interruptions.
• Resource Contention in Shared Hosting: If you are using a shared hosting environment, other websites hosted on the same server might consume more resources during peak periods, indirectly affecting your website’s performance.
• Network Latency or ISP Issues: Temporary network outages or latency issues affecting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or data center network can also contribute to downtime during specific intervals.

To pinpoint the root cause of your downtime, we recommend monitoring your website’s traffic patterns and resource usage, or consider upgrading to one of our VPS or Dedicated Server plans for more stable and isolated resources.
