SmartHost Services Unaffected

Date: 18 November 2025
Status: Informational Update

SmartHost is currently aware of a major worldwide outage affecting Cloudflare, one of the largest DNS and web security providers globally.

We want to reassure all customers that:

All SmartHost hosting services, servers, and network systems are operating normally.

However:

Customers who use Cloudflare for DNS (instead of SmartHost DNS servers) may experience website or service interruptions.

This issue is entirely on Cloudflare’s end and is impacting websites and applications internationally. Because Cloudflare operates independently from SmartHost, this outage is outside of our control, and affected services will resume automatically once Cloudflare restores normal operations.

You can monitor Cloudflare’s live status here:
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates if necessary.

If you are unsure whether your domain is using Cloudflare or SmartHost DNS, feel free to contact our support team and we’ll be happy to check for you.
