 * The reason for the error should be visible in the error log. You can find it 
   in your hosting area. If necessary, the support of your hosting can help you.
 * Alternatively, you could also enable debugging in WordPress. How to do this is
   described here: [https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/](https://developer.wordpress.org/advanced-administration/debug/debug-wordpress/)–
   also here the support of your hosting can help you if necessary to edit the file
   accordingly.
 * In both cases you should be able to see what the cause is in the logfile.

 * If I can’t log in, then I can’t access the error log in the hosting area?
 * I can’t follow the debugging instruction also , if I can’t log in.

 * Logging into the WordPress backend is completely independent of your host. As
   far as I can see, your website appears to be hosted by IONOS. Contact their support
   team or the provider you pay for hosting to resolve the issue.
