I completely understand that this may cause confusion and you will have additional questions. I am happy to provide any information I have to help you.
However, to keep the contents of this topic clean, clear and concise, I ask that you carefully read the Outage Communication Rules before posting.
In a nutshell:
Please keep the posts about the outage in this topic, and all posts not about this outage outside of this topic.
Please post relevant questions only that have not been answered yet. It may be compelling to ask obvious questions like âwhen will this be fixedâ, but basic information like that will be put in this message as soon as we know it.
Please carefully check the known symptoms and affected components.
If you are on the affected components, you are almost certainly affected by the outage. If so, please refrain from simply stating you are affected, it does not help get your service back up faster.
If you are not on the affected components but do experience all of the symptoms, please say so below so we can check if our list is incomplete.
If you do not experience all listed issues and are not on the components that are known to be affected, the issue you are experiencing is most likely not related to this outage. If so, please create a new topic in the Hosting Support category and describe the issue there.
If you say you are affected by the outage, please always include your website URL. I canât check if you are affected by the outage if you donât say which of your websites is affected.
Posts that do not follow these rules may be deleted without warning. This is to help ensure that all the relevant information is easily available to everyone reading this topic.
The control panel of your account is working fine from here, so I donât see what see.
Please actually describe the issue. Some vague statement about ânot workingâ and âloading thingsâ doesnât mean anything to you.
Please note that this is an outage topic, we try to keep these clean. Any posts that doesnât actually help to provide relevant information about this outage will be deleted.
Reminder: this is an outage topic. Please follow the outage communication rules.
Only post something if you have something to contribute to the topic. We know many sites are down. We donât need dozens or hundreds of people to posts messages that have some variation of âsame hereâ or âme tooâ without even as much as a website URL to verify.
We know that there is an outage. I created an outage topic because there is an outage.
Please help keep this topic clean. Posts in violation will be flagged and deleted without warning.
In first place, thank you. Thank you for your current efforts. Itâs not a nice situation for anybody to solve. I understand what means that free in inifinityfree so, even having my site down, take your time. And thank you for offering us the chance to have our sites for free. Thank you. And please, for any user, be patientâŚ
I tried creating a new account for checking if itâs me or serverâs issue and then it shows creating your account refresh after few minutes it showing that only from hours and wanted to ask one quick question that are you guys related with profreehost ? Because they are also having the same issue as you i donât understand what happened suddenly
When uploading with filezilla, I get the warning â421 6900 users (the maximum) are already logged in, sorryâ. I wanted to share it in case it might be useful to you.
Hello, thank you for the follow-up and strong support of the InfinityFree team
There is a problem with changing files and uploading files in online FTP
Does using FTP software to upload files replace this online FTP and solve the problem?
No, using an external ftp client will not solve the problem. Please wait for the problem to be resolved by Infinityfree. You donât need to express your problems over and over again. Iâm sure theyâre already trying to fix the problems. Please follow what the authorities say and do not fill this forum with anything other than useful information.
