Drew has said: Your domains all use our DNS and were automatically updated when Homestead was updated.
-

Then why can we not edit our sites
-

I have no idea if you deleted homestead and cleaned out your PC before a clean re-install. This has to be done to be able to edit your website.

Did not delete anything it just keeps giving me a error message

do not delete anything. if you are using desktop your website is on your machine. if you delete you could lose everything if migration fails. just leave it and when you can log in again you can upload just like you did before. hang in there.

Seems strange I deleted Homestead and cleaned out my PC and did a clean re-install I was updating when others could not!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't tell someone to do anything I would NOT do!! Besides Homestead gives you a Picture update of your website if you loose it.
-

ur assuming they will still have a copy of anything. suppose during this "migration" they lose your site? then what? do not delete anything until this blows over. just my opinion.

Billy I continue to issues throughout the day, but if I give it a minute or so it kicks back in. Hopefully that will be the case for you as well.

It may help to run Ccleaner and defrag. Restart your receiver and your modem. Shut down and restart. I wouldn't blame it all on Homestead when it's working for me. I don't work with homestead. Just did a clean reinstall that's all.

yeah it finally published after 10 times. I hope they get this right soon. Time is money.

What specific issue are you having?

Specifically, in this case, I need to open a new account to export an existing Homestead website to. I think it's active but I can't log into it.

Keep getting the same server error message.
-

Can I please get an update on this? It's really frustrating to keep getting the "unexpected server error" message. I mean, the first time maybe it was unexpected, but 25 times later it's not so unexpected. The last update you've posted was 12/30 saying no ETA but it should be soon and it was all hands on deck - that was four days ago!

Drew, it's happening with the sharpcountybirthclasses.homestead nearly every time. Sometimes it won't go to the error page and will instead bring a blank page up but my browser tab says "site error."
Also happening intermittently when I am clicking on the other sites of my account. Not every time, but that makes it more frustrating because I never know when it'll work and when it will just crap out!

You can go to the file page and see if the pages or files have uploaded. If not just highlight the page or file and choose upload. This works for me.

Drew, here is a screen shot of the error I am getting. This comes up after I click "Edit" and then the Site Builder plus logo shows up as if it's loading, but then comes to this screen.

And if I go back, delete the site and then try to create it again, it does the error I originally wrote about above. Rinse, repeat. This is the sharpcountybirthclasses.homestead.com site

Can't publish changes to my website, gives me "problem uploading" with a close window or upgrade button. Hit upgrade and it closes down everything, close window makes it appear that the upload is taking place, but it isn't. Since I was re-designing my website, I deleted all and did a clean install of Sitebuilder. Same problem exists. Can't even access my account from the SItebuilder now...choice is grayed out. Is anyone working on the problem?
Drew N, Alum

People have reported this and hit close window and it published.
-

I've tried this and it didn't publish. Double checked by going to the page on the web and a page with a message from Homestead comes up and reads, "Sorry, Homestead Services are not available" or something similar. Homestead seems to be having a major problem but won't admit it...but they continue to take our money.
-

It will show it as being available, but when I click to edit the site, it goes to a blank page. The tab in my browser says "site error" but no actual error message shows up in the webpage itself.
-
262 Points
The error message is "There is a problem uploading this file" and then I hit "close window" and the error message goes away, but the file isn't getting published. When I go to my site's URL, I get a page that reads:
Sorry, services are temporarily unavailable.
Time to confess! Everything is hosed at Homestead, isn't it?

THIS IS MORE THAN MILDLY ANNOYING. PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP AS IT IS COSTING MY BUSINESS AND I'M SURE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS OF YOURS A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF MONEY. THE HOSTING IS SLOW, THE SITEBUILDER IS FREQUENTLY 'OFFLINE'. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP!! I HAVE BEEN A CUSTOMER FOR 4 YEARS AND AM SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING OTHER ALTERNATIVES IF THESE ISSUES ARE NOT IMMEDIATELY RESOLVED.
PLEASE RESPOND TO ME DIRECTLY SO THAT I KNOW THIS HAS BEEN SEEN BY YOUR STAFF.
SINCERELY,

What is the issue?

The issue is that we're losing business and profit from our many websites being down for 2 weeks. When is it going to be fixed? Let me guess: we are working around the clock to resolve these issues? WHEN are they going to be resolved? You're getting paid, I have no doubt, for sitting here and trying to pacify angry customers, but what about us, whose survival depends on whether our websites running or not?

This issue is not likely the reson your sites are down. These issue have cause sporadic and minimal impact to customer sites. If you have sites not working, tell us which domain names and we will take a look.

The domain, ambassadoracademy.us, does need to update the DNS records. I still show the old DNS at Godaddy.

Drew.......Why is it I can't see any Homestead websites on Google when I can view other websites? Google must not like Homestead??

Mileen3055,
It is more likely something specific to your computer. I use Google Chrome all day and have no problems at all viewing sites, as do many of our customers.For the life of me I can't figure out why, unless you somehow managed to add homestead to a prohibited list.

The websites, Homestead and anyother site that doesn't show...I right click and it says it isn't verified. Some search engine must have them blocked?
Drew N, Alum

262,816 Points
Can you post a screen shot of your Google results showing the issue. It sounds like a security program that doesn't know how to interpret your site. When I Google some keywords I get a small Norton message next to the results that confirms your sites as Safe. I use Norton 360. Is the message you are receiving something similar? They aren't globally blocking your sites as I can reach them is all browsers.

All websites that don't load!! Not just homestead. Still the same issue!! Show on aol but NOT on Google crome!!!!!! Nothing has changed!!!

Do you have a program called Spy Doctor? I have found that it has caused Chrome some issues in the past. I have found references to some problems similar and it seems that many people solved it by uninstalling Chrome, and deleting all history, then make sure the Chrome folder in Program files is deleted. Then reboot and re-install. I know you said you reset Chrome, but I am not sure what steps you took.
-

Chrome has an option to reset their settings.. I don't have another Browser other than aol to do the upload of Crome if I delete it.

You should be able to download it through AOL, or you could download Firefox to try it prior to removing Chrome.

Tried to download Firefox but I have a tag a long software popup tells me I have problems with my computer! Happened before! It is a company that pays for their software program to tag a long so they can drum up business for their company.
I had to delete Firefox in the past because of this.

This is most likely the problem. What software is this? If it doesn't allow you to download Firefox, there is something seriously wrong with it, in my opinion.

Well I bit the Bullet and deleted Google Crome. Then I downloaded it after I restarted my computer. I can now view my Homestead websites, and probably everything else. I was able to upload the 2015 version without the update. It's acting much faster too.

I deleted Google, but it was just the first step. I had to activate my antivirus protection and add another program. First I deleted my Computer care spyware program I had. I had thought previously it may have had issues with Google not showing certain pages (not being verified). So far it seams like it's working since I optimized my antivirus for my computer.

For all of you who aren't getting help from Homestead, I suggest that you go to your state attorney general, consumer advocate office and file a formal complaint against Homestead. They are taking our money and will not attempt to supply the product.

Drew this is the only way that I can access chat - I get a message that indicates Chat key cookie does not match visitor chat key. My system is down again. I am able to input into Homestead's E-commerce Simple Store but when I go to obtain so that I can add to my web page, I am getting this error message: 502 - Web server received an invalid response while acting as a gateway or proxy server.There is a problem with the page you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed. When the Web server (while acting as a gateway or proxy) contacted the upstream content server, it received an invalid response from the content server. This is the second time this week that this has occurred. I was able to get it fixed by using live chat but now even that is down. Can you help?

Is this error persisting? Your Sitebuilder popped right up for me this morning. Clear your browser history and try again. That should fix chat as well.
