Hotstar: This may be why Hotstar+Disney website was down during India vs Australia test match – Times of India
On Friday, during the highly anticipated second test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia, cricket enthusiasts were disappointed when the live stream on Disney+ Hotstar suddenly stopped. This unexpected interruption caused widespread frustration among viewers, who took to social media to voice their displeasure.
The downtime detector portal, DownDetector, reported a significant increase in the number of complaints about Hotstar. Numerous users on social media also reported that they were unable to access the Hotstar app on their phones and desktops.
Disney+ Hotstar on outage
Disney+ Hotstar has released a statement acknowledging unforeseen technical difficulties affecting their apps and website. The company has assured viewers that they are working to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
One cricket fan was particularly swift in investigating the cause of the outage, and their findings shed light on the technical reason behind the downtime. Upon closer examination, it appears that the service went down due to the expiration of their domain, which they renewed after an unknown period of time.
A Twitter user writes, “LOL, no wonder the entire #Hotstar website is down – their domain expired and they’ve just renewed it a while ago. Someone is gonna get for this #INDvsAUS #INDvAUS”
And it seems that the Twitter user’s guess is right as today, Feburary 17, Hotstar has renewed its domain, “www.hotstar.com,” as can be seen online in domain registrar records.
And a series of funny tweets followed. A user wrote, another wrote Just read a reason why Hotstar has been down. Can’t stop laughing right now,” while another writes “It’s going to be a bad Friday for the Hotstar team.”
The outage affected the website, apps on Android and iOS, and other platforms. It took a while, around two hours, before the streaming platform was up and running, but fans had already missed much of India’s bowling innings on the first day of the test match.
