Hi Shaun,

The “Service Unavailable” message is just due to the sheer amount of Cloud WordPress users who are active at the same time. We have over 75,000 active websites signed on and using the service. The error message normally only last about 3 – 5 minutes on average. You can try clearing your cache and reloading the page or try accessing the URL in a different web browser.

Keep in mind “Cloud WordPress” is for site staging and development purposes only and should not be used in place of a traditional web host.

Thanks Shaun,

I have an idea as to what’s going on. You mentioned you recently created your BoldGrid Central account. I think you may have created your website instance before confirming your email address for your BoldGrid Central account. Any installation created without a confirmed email is flagged to expire after 48 hours.

Even if your email address has already been confirmed that doesn’t retroactively remove the expiration date from preexisting installs. Meaning if you created the website before confirming your email the website would have still been deleted.

You can visit the Cloud WordPress section of your BoldGrid Central account to view your current listed websites. If you do not see any sites listed there you can spin up a new dev environment with the Create New Install button.

I hope this helps you resolve this Shaun!
