Understanding provisioning states

What pending, provisioning, active and error mean for your hosting account.

When you order hosting, your account passes through several states.

Pending

Your order is waiting for payment.

Provisioning

Payment is complete and we are creating your account on a server. This usually takes a few minutes.

Active

Your account is live. You can log in to cPanel and use your hosting.

Error

Something went wrong while creating your account. Our team is notified automatically and will fix it.

What to do in the error state

Wait a few minutes and refresh. Check your email for instructions. If it stays in error, open a support ticket with your order number.

You can see your hosting account status under Account > Hosting.
