        Where is this error coming from? Your browser? Google Webmaster Tools?

        I can't get any pages on your site to load, including indexed pages from Google - if you haven't spoken with your website hosting company or webmaster yet, that should be your first stop. More likely than not your host will be able to determine what is wrong.

            I did check with our hosting company and everything was working fine on their end so I am not exactly sure what is happening. I will try this again and see if the issue continues. Thank you for your help though.

                Yup, your site is back up now. All 4 pages are loading for me.

                I'm willing to bet the host had some downtime and just got it fixed in the last couple hours, then proceeded to tell you it was fine (since it now is). Short downtimes happento a lot of hosts once in a while.

                If it happens frequently - verify that it's not your fault, and then switch hosts. Should not be happening more than once or twice a year at a good host, and they should fix it promptly. They should also honor their 99.9% uptime guarantee if they have one.

                Use an uptime tracker like http://www.monitor.us/website-monitoring or https://www.pingdom.com/ or http://www.siteuptime.com/ if it becomes a problem. (I have used the first one and it works fine, can't vouch for the others).

                  Thumbs up to Kane's advice.

                  If you checked with your host and 'everything was fine' but 10 minutes later the site was working again, you might want to get an uptime tracker 🙂

                  • I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks
