We have tried pinging Craigslist website using our server and the website returned the above results. If craigslist.org is down for us too there is nothing you can do except waiting. Probably the server is overloaded, down or unreachable because of a network problem, outage or a website maintenance is in progress...

Can't Access Craigslist - Troubleshooting Instructions

If the site is UP but you cant access the page, try one of the below solutions:

Browser Related Problems

  • Force a full refresh for the site. This can be achieved by pressing CTRL + F5 keys at the same time on your favourite browser (Firefox, Chrome, Explorer, etc.)
  • Try alternative urls such as craigslist.com
  • Clear the temporary cache and cookies on your browser to make sure that you have the most recent version of the web page. For instructions choose your browser : firefox chrome internet explorer

Fix DNS Problems

A Domain Name System (DNS) allows a site IP address (192.168.x.x) to be identified with words (*.com) in order to be remembered more easily, like a phonebook for websites. This service is usually provided by your ISP.

  • Clear your local DNS cache to make sure that you grab the most recent cache that your ISP has. For Windows - (Start > Command Prompt > type "ipconfig /flushdns" and hit enter). For details choose your operating system :
  • If you can access a website at office or from a 3G network yet it's not working on your computer, it is a good idea to use an alternative DNS service other than your ISPs. OpenDNS or Google Public DNS are both excellent and free public DNS services.
  • Check our help page for step-by-step instructions on configure dnshow to change your DNS.

Jonathan Darden · 30 March 2013 - 16:55

Ronna Myers Hayward · 26 February 2013 - 21:50

Khalid Sharief · 21 February 2013 - 10:18

Craigslist is a classified advertisements website with different categories like jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, gigs, resumes many more Craig Newmark began the service in 1995 as an email distribution list of friends. Nice article written at F2Key why Craigslist is .org and not .com

Ronna Myers Hayward · 13 February 2013 - 23:29

i can not get craigslist to load after it gets to the sections page. done scans and all nothing helps.

Krishna Haney · 12 February 2013 - 10:57

CL down the last 3 days in San Diego. Site initially comes up, but within seconds, it generates an "Aww snap, this page has crashed. Download here to fix the problem." My computer security warns that the download is bad. Any updates?

Elisa Lucero · 11 February 2013 - 03:35

Hi, I'm in Denver & I keep getting "SNAP, this page has crashed. Download Here to fix problem" which I don't want to do. But anyway I try to access CL, the same message occurs. I have installed Malware bytes, and done numerous other scans, system restore to earlier dates. Don't know what else to do. Anyone else having similar problem?

Craig Jackson · 8 February 2013 - 06:44

Dates are all messed up when you do searches, something is wrong?

Michele Velleman · 31 January 2013 - 12:54

Can't access CL Boston for the last few days. Home page comes up, but nothing else after that point. Mobile CL has also not been working for me for about a week now.

Rick Fish · 30 January 2013 - 18:10

When I search for an item the page comes up but there is no bar to scroll down and view the items below the 3 that show up. This has just happened since the site has been upgraded. If I go to my account the bar is there and I'm able to scroll down to view the full page.

Melissa Peyton · 30 January 2013 - 12:30

I am having an issue with getting into craigslist. I get into craigslist baltimore, trying to look for a car, go to cars for sale, then to by dealer, then the screen just goes blank. Not sure if the problem is me or them please help

Rick Ivie · 27 January 2013 - 05:47

Same here in Phoenix. I can get to he main page but if I type in a search it takes me to a blank page. If I click on one of the gerneral searches provided on the main page like "Bikles" it does the same thing. It has been like this since Friday.

Cheryl Orey · 26 January 2013 - 09:35

we are in Oregon, can get homepage but nothing else. have sent them many emails but no replies or resolutions. this is frustrating, and can't even post ads. How rude!

Nancy Gash · 18 January 2013 - 20:20

Can't access email reply. The item picture covers all the email reply options. Anyone else having this problem?

Vaughn D. Newman Jr. · 27 December 2012 - 21:45

ok... its just not me... whew!!! I knew I paid that bill... lol. But mine is down here in South Carolina.

James Houghtaling · 27 December 2012 - 21:45

Seems like it's down in Central NY... couldn't reach Baltimore either.

Scott Gordon · 27 December 2012 - 21:40

Wausau Wisconsin, No access. Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Keith W Henline · 23 December 2012 - 17:53

Craigslist is back on in Vegas, however I am dumping facebook Jan 1, 2013!

Casi Heath · 23 December 2012 - 10:38

I just cleared my History and cookies. Then was able to get right back on after being down for 24 hrs.

Gary Hopkins · 23 December 2012 - 10:28

So does anyone know how some people are able to post? I can't get on except through the link offered by another person on here. Not able to post, log in to account or respond to post. anyone have solutions. Do you think some of us have been banned or something?

Lelia Crispen-Warnke · 23 December 2012 - 10:15

Wow; This is my favorite site to browse; Can't believe i'm missing out finding some great items right before the holidays!! Craigslist where are you!!

Kurt Garnett · 23 December 2012 - 10:14

download ultrasurf no need to change your DNS you will have full control of your account and runs like normal

Glassorb Mike · 23 December 2012 - 10:09

from the cl help desk forum

Attention: If you are unable to access craigslis < - > 12/23 09:00:21

from certain computers or networks: There is known to currently be a temporary DNS problem affecting certain ISP's that can cause your computer to be unable to "look up" the IP addresses for craigslist's servers, and be unable to connect to them.

You can either wait for the issue to be resolved, or you can change the DNS servers your router or computer uses to use google's DNS service, which is currently working. To use google's DNS, set your DNS to:

primary: 8.8.8.8

alternate: 8.8.4.4

Christine Dunbar Bonaventure · 23 December 2012 - 10:04

Craigslist will not work for me at home. I am using Uverse wireless. It is working for other people, and it worked for me on wireless at someone elses house. But, at home. It will not come up. This is odd.

Randy Fuchs · 23 December 2012 - 10:03

Perhaps ISP related ?? Whap ISP are you people using that can't access it? I'm on COX and can't access CL, but I set DNS to openDNS and it works fine.. Not sure if it's intentional or an error on COX DNS

Kelsey Stegner · 23 December 2012 - 10:02

Where is craigslist grrr!! Here in Santa Cruz CL has been missing since last night.

Ken Telesko · 23 December 2012 - 09:54

Same here, links to CL give nothing but ads, tried this and it worked, on my new Belkin rougher there was a filter setting that I turned OFF, once I did that all was fine with CL. Get this, the filter was powered by who else but the great Norton, I guess they decided for the world that CL was spam....

Keith W Henline · 23 December 2012 - 09:52

Craigslist is down in Las Vegas! It really is the end of the World at least for Craigslist!

Troy Chandler Senior · 23 December 2012 - 09:52

Pacific Power is experiencing widespread power outages in Northern California. Heavy wet snow has caused numerous trees and power lines to fall, resulting in extensive damage to our equipment. Approximately 1, 026 customers are currently without power. Most customers may be without service through Monday but some could be without power through Wednesday depending on damage to our facilities and access issues. Our crews are working around the clock to have service restored as soon as possible.

Cathy Flip Garziano · 23 December 2012 - 09:45

Maybe they did it on purpose. To show the world what life is like without CL. When they come back... don't be surprised to see a fee for an account.

Matthew Higgins · 23 December 2012 - 09:44

It's day before Christmas Eve. I'm guessing we have overloaded the servers trying to find last minute deals and crashed their servers. Kinda like when apple launches new products causing AT&T's servers to crash. Just a thought.. lol. My mobile app is not working either.

Jesse Cabrera · 23 December 2012 - 09:39

Down in Arizona!! Tucson to be specific!! Was able to get there with the links folks posted..but.. anonymous PIA ads are all over the pages..

Glassorb Mike · 23 December 2012 - 09:37

I'm seeing new postings, any other way in besides that ad ridden anonymizer site

Brian Mars · 23 December 2012 - 09:27

Well.. Its just DOWN! Nancy and I cannot Christmas shop! Geeez!

Angela Sago · 23 December 2012 - 09:25

are you serious? does no one read? Of course there aren't any new posts. You can browse, but you can't post. It is Down. lol

Mohammed Omer · 23 December 2012 - 09:24

changed the dns and it works, looks like nobody posted any new items since the 22nd

Angela Sago · 23 December 2012 - 09:23

Yes, the anonymouse link works for browsing only, but not if you want to get to your account or post. No, California didn't have a 10 point earthquake. Yes, they've been having small 3.0 ers and lower. Reportedly there is a power outage, but I've yet to find anything in the news about a power outage, but it makes sense.

Liz Campbell-Maringer · 23 December 2012 - 09:22

this will get you on, but will not let you post. anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/www.craigslist.... Hope this helps

Jae Malik · 23 December 2012 - 09:17

The anonymous redirect works for browsing, but the link to get to a personal account does not work.

Mary Marcum-Satterfield · 23 December 2012 - 09:16

Ohio is down too. USA is down due to Power Outage in San Francisco. San Francisco power outage has Craigslist and many other sites offline.

Wayne N Amber · 23 December 2012 - 09:14

Try it on CELLPHONE working for me out here in cali. Not on my computer tho...

Bonny Dunn · 23 December 2012 - 09:10

works fine through anonymouse dot org so it's not down--just can't be accessed from my ip

Alexander Gustavo Hernandez · 23 December 2012 - 09:03

Thanks for the posts about changing DNS. Is there any official note from Craigslist that they are working on the problems? I mean, they can not expect everyone to do that so there must be another solution if they have a problem.

Peggy Thiergartner-Davino · 23 December 2012 - 09:03

Server Not Found on Firefox in So FL - but it is sunny and beautiful here today!

Fred Maxwell · 23 December 2012 - 08:52

I can access the site, but when I try to reply to an ad, my mail server cannot find the mail (MX) host for sale.craigslist.org (DNS can't locate). I also used an online tool to do an MX host lookup and it timed out. I'm suspicious that its a DDOS against the DNS servers that craigslist uses.

Steven Lausch · 23 December 2012 - 08:51

down since last night still down now sunday 12/23/2012 8:50 in san diego

Shai Y'srael · 23 December 2012 - 08:49

probably too much traffic... but yeah, changed my DNS to 8.8.4.4 from 8.8.8.8 & I'm in there!

John Leonard · 23 December 2012 - 08:47

I have http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites in Staten Island

Scott Loken · 23 December 2012 - 08:36

Why do you all think this is happening? Is it because of hackers? Or because of Craiglist? I did change my Dns, and it works good, but if you post ads, then what's the sense? Cause if no one else can get one. Then there is no point cause no one will see your ad LOL

Hazel Pharo Carlsen · 23 December 2012 - 08:35

yup... been down since last night... glad to find this page to know it is not something wrong on my computer.. odd that there is nothing on the news pages... maybe they are all on vacation at craigs list?

Pam Saladin · 23 December 2012 - 08:30

Down in south Florida on 3 computers but it worked with 2 of my phone apps, changed my DNS per the instructions in the links above and it's up now on the two computers I changed.

John Smith · 23 December 2012 - 08:21

but that might be down at CL. You'll probably have to change your DNS for posting. Appears to be a DNS problem in the US. Herte is how, not hard: http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/how-to/setup-opendns-or-google-dns.html

Rich Stark · 23 December 2012 - 08:21

Down in Portland Oregon. The anonymous redirect works. http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites/

Kevin Misch · 23 December 2012 - 08:13

John Smiths looks like it works but when you go to My Account or Post ads an error comes up. At least for me when I select Canada > Kitchener Waterloo. So do some cities work and others not?

Tom Meek · 23 December 2012 - 07:59

It's been down for me in Los Angeles since yesterday... on multiple computers, browsers, and through the most popular Android app. Still down as of 7:57AM PDT

John Smith · 23 December 2012 - 07:57

It works because it uses a different location and DNS: http://anonymouse.org/cgi-bin/anon-www.cgi/http://www.craigslist.org/about/sites/

Jeff Jones · 23 December 2012 - 07:56

http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/how-to/setup-opendns-or-google-dns.html

This explains how to change your dns. Use 8.8.8.8 for primary and 8.8.4.4 for secondary.

Peter Howitz · 23 December 2012 - 07:44

Choose your Windows and follow the instructions to change your DNS - www.isitdownrightnow.com/how-to/setup-opendns-or-google-dn...

Carl F. Miller · 23 December 2012 - 07:41

Great, some computer geeks say change your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. My questions is, HOW?

Tuesday Parker · 23 December 2012 - 07:41

I'm in Columbus, Georgia and this site tells me it's down or blocked just for me. With absolutely no reason for such an issue I'm wondering... wud up Craigslist?

John Smith · 23 December 2012 - 07:33

Down in Inland Empire, a small portion of the address is shaded when it is in the menu line so it might be a virus attacking the wireless servers?
