What do you do when your freshly ranked site suddenly goes down by hosting?

If it’s a short provider outage your rankings should be fine. Just wait for the site to come back then check Google Search Console and keep an eye on rankings for the future keep backups and consider backup hosting to avoid this happening again.
 
So this happened to me like an hour ago and im still kinda stressed about it. built a new blog, worked on it for like a month, finally started ranking top 5 for my main keyword just yesterday. then today my hosting just... dies. like completely unreachable, cant even log into the panel. dont wanna tell the name, you can guess. it turns out its a provider wide outage, not just me, some datacenter issue on their end apparently power/cooling failure took down thousands of servers at once.

so now my site is just offline while its literally in the middle of climbing rankings. no ETA from them either, support chat is down too so cant even ask whats going on.

anyone been through this before? couple things im wondering

not naming the host, just curious if this is a common thing that happens or if i just got unlucky timing wise. kinda nerve wracking watching a site die right when its finally doing something lol!
oh to have an outage immediately after making it to the top 5 that’s terrible timing. do not jump into changing titles or anything on ur pages yet bcz of this. restore the server nd check that everything works okay for both the visitor nd the crawler. nd wait a little while nd see what happens with the rankking.
