7 days down, zero human support from Netlify/Bolt.new (paid account)


I'm in a desperate situation and would appreciate any advice from the HN community.

*Background:*

My production website (encremagique.org) has been completely DOWN for over 7 days. I accidentally deleted a project on Bolt.new (Netlify) on Jan 30, 2026, and immediately paid $17.88 for a Pro plan to restore it (Order #2060-7613).

*The Problem:*

- Site has been down for 150+ hours - Submitted 6 support tickets over 7 days - ZERO human responses - only automated "Sam" bot replies - No phone support available - No escalation path visible

*What I've Done:*

- Paid Pro subscription immediately after the incident - Filed ICANN complaint (Case #01547725) - Posted on Twitter tagging @boltdotnew and @StackBlitz - Messaged Reddit moderators of r/boltnew - Attempted to post on multiple Reddit communities

*Impact:*

My users cannot access the platform. My business is suffering. 150+ hours of downtime on a PAID account.

*My Questions:*

1. Has anyone dealt with this level of support unresponsiveness from Netlify/Bolt.new? 2. What legal/technical options do I have beyond ICANN complaints? 3. Are there any other escalation paths I'm missing? 4. Should I consider immediate migration to another provider?

*Lessons Learned (so far):*

- Always maintain backups on multiple platforms - Research support quality before committing to a hosting provider - Don't rely on a single provider for critical infrastructure

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm documenting everything for potential legal action if needed.

We've seen this exact scenario before where critical infrastructure goes down and vendor support is non-existent, especially with smaller providers or specific tiers. The immediate concern is getting encremagique.org back online. This usually comes down to understanding the actual recovery options available from Bolt.new's side, or if a full migration is the only viable path. There's usually a path through this, but it requires a clear-eyed assessment of the technical situation and available leverage.
