Site crashes, sometimes can't access admin page (404 Error)

    Hello!

    I started using WordPress last night and it worked fine for a while.
    I deleted all plugins, all pages and started fresh. I used the template Launch until I started getting errors, now I’m using the default 2016 WordPress one with no plugins and nothings changed so I don’t think it’s a template or plug-ins issue.

    My site, disaus.com, will randomly work. The site will load (it looks terrible atm because it’s configured to Launch but using the wrong template, I’m not actually THAT bad!). But sometimes these will happen at random intervals:
    – disaus.com redirected you too many times
    – 404 Error, page not found
    – a page stating the domain is parked on NameSilo will show up

    If I try to go disaus.com/wp-admin it will either:
    – let me log in and edit things like nothing is wrong
    – After entering username and pass, 403 FORBIDDEN nginx (and nothing else)
    – Doesn’t load anything, not even login
    – I *think* this sometimes leads to 404 errors too

    I get different results by browser and I try refreshing/deleting cache and it doesn’t change. Literally every two minutes I’ll get either a working site or a different error. I haven’t tried to do anything complex yet, just have a working home page with one post to see if it works. It can go from working perfectly to errors without editing a single thing.
    I have updated WordPress to the newest version.

    Could this be a hosting site issue? Or am I missing something obvious?

    After entering username and pass, 403 FORBIDDEN

    403 forbidden means that your browser isn’t able to load the scripts up because your server isn’t allowing it. This is a hard one to solve. Because anything could be blocking the server.
    – Most likely this is a server permissions/ownership issue, so ask your host what’s going on
    – check your .htaccess files for anything strange.
    – make sure your server settings are not overriding the .htaccess file
    – try a full Manual Upgrade, to make sure all the WordPress files are there and correct..
    – Make sure to backup everything (including database) before doing any action, in case.

    Thanks, I’ll contact the host and ask. As all I’ve done is made a home page I don’t need to backup anything so I’m happy trying everything.
    I emailed the owners and then deleted everything and tried installing WordPress again. After installing on my host site and clicking “single blog” in the choice of what I want to set up it goes straight to Error 404 Page Not Found.

    I’ll update when they reply in case anyone in the future has an issue.

    Update: It was my host. Boo. Don’t be afraid to e-mail your host and say something is wrong! They reinstalled WordPress for me and it’s all beautiful now!
