What to do right now

  • Check the provider's own status page. Open Westhost's official status page ↗
  • Don't restart everything. If the outage is upstream (cloud provider, CDN, auth provider), redeploying your own service usually won't help and may make recovery slower.
  • Communicate early. Even a one-line update to your users referencing the upstream incident reduces support load dramatically.
  • Watch this page. We post each new vendor update and source as it lands. Bookmark or share the URL with your team.
