Disney+ Hotstar is witnessing unforeseen technical issues across their apps and web. The streaming service confirmed that their team is working on this to ensure the issue gets resolved soon. As per reports, Delhi, Jaipur, Lucknow, Kolkata, Nagpur, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Chandigarh registered the most outages.

With Amazon Web Service (AWS) also reporting outages in certain parts of the world, the Hotstar outage can be attributed to AWS. Other reports suggest that Hotstar’s domain expired on Friday, and the OTT service failed to renew it leading to the outage. Disney + Hotstar however are yet to confirm the reason for the blackout.

Fans were certainly displeased given they missed the start of the IND vs AUS 2nd test. #HotstarDown was trending on Twitter with users complaining with screenshots of their errors. Hotstar reflected PB-4000 error. Some users received an NM 4000 error. The two errors occur when the website fails to detect location. But for many users, it was just a blank page with no error code.

Just read a reason why Hotstar has been down. Can’t stop laughing right now.

Domain expired and someone forgot to renew it. Woah… if that’s true, this year’s Diwali bonuses are already out of the window. 🤦🏾
