My app went offline. Was it my host, my AI tool or my bill?

Checked on

Open your address on your phone using mobile data, and read what the page says. A message about credits, billing or an expired app points to your host's plan or bill. A blank page or an error with no message can point to a problem at your host or in the last version you published. Check your host's status page, your credits and payment page, and your domain's renewal date. Then send your host's support the exact message and the time you first saw it.

1. Confirm it is offline for everyone

Open your address on your phone with Wi-Fi off, so it uses mobile data, in a private window. If you can ask someone in another place to open it, do that too. If it opens for them, the problem may be your own network or browser.

2. Read what the page says

Some hosts take an app offline for reasons about the account, not the code: used-up credits, a failed payment, or a free-tier published app that has reached the end of its time. Visitors then see a page from the host instead of your app. In public posts from September and October 2026, owners described published apps going offline after credits ran out or a billing change, and after a notice that a published app had expired.

Copy the exact words on the page, or take a screenshot. Support will ask for them.

3. Check your host's status page

Hosts and AI builders usually have a status page that lists known problems. If it shows one, there is nothing to fix on your side. Check again later.

4. Check credits and billing

Sign in to your host's account. Look at your credits, your payment method and any notice about a failed payment. A payment can fail for reasons that have nothing to do with money in your account, for example a card that needs an extra confirmation from your bank.

5. Check your domain and security certificate

If your address is your own domain, check when it renews in your domain provider's account. An expired domain stops your site from opening. An expired security certificate (the file that lets browsers show a padlock) makes browsers show a warning instead of your site.

6. Did you publish just before it went offline?

If it went offline right after you published, ask your AI tool to list what it changed. If your tool lets you go back to the previous version, you can try that. See Supabase paused my project and my app is down. What do I do? for one known case.

What to send to your host's support

  • The exact message shown, or a screenshot.
  • Your web address.
  • The time you first saw the problem, with your time zone.
  • What you changed or published just before, if anything.

What Heedza checks, and what it cannot see

Heedza requests your home page on a schedule and alerts you when it stops answering. It tells you the site is down. It does not tell you why. It also reminds you 14, 7, 3 and 1 day before your HTTPS certificate or your domain registration expires.

Heedza cannot see your host's credits, billing or status page, and it does not restart or host your app.

Your next step: run the free scan

Use the free scan at the bottom of this page. Paste your live web address. It opens your home page, looks for secret keys in its code, checks a few private files and looks at what search engines see. No account is needed.

More questions

Can Heedza keep my app online?

No. Heedza tells you when your site stops answering. It does not host, restart or repair your app.

How soon would Heedza tell me?

On the Free plan the home page is requested every 5 minutes, and you get an email when it stops answering.

Why does my app say it expired?

That message comes from your host, not from your app. Read your host's own explanation of it, and ask its support if it is not clear. Some hosts limit how long free-tier published apps stay live.
