It is not unusual for a webpage to experience downtime, but Enya.com has been down for a long time (see counter below). That’s a lot. We did some research to see if anyone could explain why Enya.com is down.
2021 UPDATE:
Enya.com Down For A Whole Year
The page has now been down for:
UPDATE 17 March 2020 (thanks to Felipe Dário):
Original story (16 February 2020)
First; It is not just us; The page is really down. This according to isitdownrightnow.com
One thing seems certain; Enya.com is probably not experiencing a technical problem on the server-side. The page is hosted by Go Daddy, and they are not reporting any major difficulties. (I have been a customer there for over 15 years, and I know that a Go Daddy would fix any problem for a page of this size in an hour or less, for instance by moving the page to another server. )
It doesn’t appear to be a problem with the domain either. It doesn’t expire before in May 2020:
This is all very strange. There are, as of writing, no news or information on Enya’s Facebook page either.
While we are waiting, why not check out the below pictures showing how the page has changed over the years?
In 2000 there was not a whole lot on Enya.com:
In 2003 the page was beginning to take shape:
In 2004:The Sumiregusa (Wild Violet) edition
2007, designed by Lee Tobin and Roma Ryan
Here’s the Enya.com “And Winter Came” era, here from 2010:
In 2011, all attention was on The Very Best of Enya:
Since the release of “Dark Sky Island”, the page has looked like the above picture.
What do you think; Has the page been hacked? Is Enya retiring? Or is this the preparation for the release of a new album? Write a message below 🙂
Thanks to
Thanks for the article! Sometimes I wonder if they know their site is down?! Even if they are updating the site to feature a new album or project, there’s no need to have it down this long.
Not having a webpage is perhaps better PR for Enya at the moment…
I had heard from years ago that Enya is actually a very private artist, hence why she doesn’t do hardly ANY interviews or public appearances. It’s quite possible she is happy with it being down for the time being. It’s possible she is working on the next chapter of the rest of her life and will divulge us one day in the hopefully not too distant future. 🙂
Someone does know, but don’t seem in a hurry to fix it: https://www.reddit.com/r/Enya/comments/fcd9kp/why_enyacom_is_offline/
Still down for some reason. In May. ???
May 16th…the site is still down 😉
It appears Felipe received some bad information, as it is still down two months later. :/
Still down over 1000 days later…though on October 12, Enya.com did make a brief return appearance as a website for “Moto Tours”! Within a day, that was gone.

Maybe her team decided to just use social media rather than pay to maintain their own website? At least they did renew the domain registration for enya.com 🙂
P.S. The title of this article should probably be updated…it’s been down for a lot more than 11 days now!
Hi Candace. Good point! I updated the article with a counter to show exactly how long enya.com has been down 🙂
306 days and counting!! 😀
LOL, we were so innocent in early 2020! The site has never come back. 1244 days now, according to the counter. For a short period the URL re-directed to a fan site. Then Warner US got the domain back, but simply re-directed it to the Warner Ireland Enya artist page.
