Is Vendasta Down?

This issue has been resolved. Our team deployed a permanent fix and validated that direct login through the WordPress admin page is now working normally for all affected users. No further action is needed on your end. Thank you for your patience. --- [2026-07-02T21:58:19.693Z] (identified) We've identified the cause of the login issue affecting some WordPress Hosting users and a workaround is in place, so most users can continue logging in normally. If you usually access your site through the Business App, please log in there, launch the product, and sign in as usual. If you usually log in through the WordPress login page directly, you can continue to do so without any issues. Our team is working on a permanent fix and we'll share further updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience. --- [2026-07-02T15:22:38.196Z] (investigating) We are currently investigating a login issue affecting some WordPress Hosting users. Users attempting to log in directly via the WordPress admin login page may see an error screen instead of the login form. A workaround is in place and most users are able to log in normally: -If you usually access your site through the Business App, please log in to the Business App, launch the product, and sign in as usual. -If you usually log in through the WordPress login page directly, you can continue to do so without any issues. We are actively working on a permanent fix and will provide updates as they become available. Thank you for your patience.

All affected sites are now loading normally, and services have been restored. Our investigation identified a DDoS attack targeting sadlerkruparealty.com, along with WordPress brute-force attack attempts across multiple domains. Cloud Armor Adaptive Protection successfully detected the attack signature, and mitigation rules were immediately applied. As a result, malicious traffic was blocked at the Google Cloud Load Balancer edge before reaching our hosting infrastructure. Following the mitigation, attack traffic dropped significantly, and service stability has been restored. Our systems are now stable, and websites should be loading normally. We will continue to monitor the environment closely to ensure ongoing stability and performance. --- [2026-06-22T03:19:31.184Z] (investigating) We are currently investigating an issue affecting a subset of WordPress Hosting websites. Impacted sites may experience intermittent 504 Gateway Timeout errors when accessing the frontend, logging in to the WordPress admin dashboard, or performing administrative actions. Users may also notice slower-than-normal website loading times and intermittent performance degradation.

The fix has been successfully applied, and all affected sites are now operating normally. Root Cause: Google Cloud Platform (GCP) performed a node pool upgrade, which resulted in changes to the underlying IP addresses. Since the newly assigned IP addresses had not yet been configured within the WP Cloud environment, connectivity issues occurred, impacting site availability. The necessary IP configurations have now been updated in WP Cloud, and services have been fully restored. All sites are currently functioning as expected, and we continue to monitor the environment to ensure ongoing stability. --- [2026-06-16T19:45:08.690Z] (identified) Our Engineering team is actively investigating the root cause of the elevated response times and timeout conditions occurring between the web gateway and backend application services. We are reviewing infrastructure performance metrics and service logs to identify and mitigate the issue.
