Hello connoisseurs!
On Friday, the site was blocked due to non-payment of hosting. (forgotten)
The opportunity to pay and launch the site is only on Monday. That is, for 3-4 days the site will hang with a 500 error.
Question: will this affect the position of the site in Yandex and Google? A lot of effort and money has been invested in the site, so the question is not a joke. Thank you for your attention to the issue.

Alas, I have to disagree with my colleague. There is certainly a chance that they will "not notice", but AS A RULE, in any case, wait for "subsidence. Examples of "forgetfulness" of hosting payment occur in my practice regularly. For 3 days - I think that is close to the definition of a "catastrophe". Of course, positions will return to normal as soon as the site is up and running, but failure is still guaranteed.The
reason is that search engines crawl your site's pages, if the code is 500, it automatically removes it from the index.Accordingly, some of the relevant queries no longer have landing pages on the site, as a result, the loss "to zero "positions for these groups. If there are many groups, the departure is serious. Do not allow this!

If there is a 500 error there, then nothing terrible will happen. After the extension, go to the webmasters and check if they know about the 500 error, if they know, click the "All fixed" button.

Well, since you don't have much choice, you'll have to wait. From experience, it usually does not affect, well, for the sake of peace of mind, you can improve the content by adding some text or adding images to several pages and how to turn on the site ask for re-indexing in webmasters

From personal experience, I can say that there was such a problem, the client did not pay for hosting, the site fell by + - 2 days. After switching on, the positions returned to normal within a week. But as I understand it, you have no choice anyway.
Again, the sites are different, perhaps, as already mentioned earlier, they simply won’t notice you.

Depends on how often search bots visit you. If once a week, then there is a high chance that they will not notice

Well, in the worst case, it will fly out of the index
