At 07:30 am on Sunday 8 November 2009 we will have a systems outage lasting until 12:30 pm.

During this period we will be deploying a major software upgrade and Online Services and EPP will be unavailable. The Automaton will not process email requests, but they will be received and queued for processing when it restarts.

All other Nominet systems will continue to work as normal during this period.

The software upgrade includes important changes to how our data systems handle nameserver objects.

Due to the extended period of system unavailability this upgrade is on Sunday morning to minimise the impact on registrars.

All of our planned maintenance is announced on our Service Announcement RSS feed, and we would encourage you to subscribe to this for the latest information.

If you have any questions about this information please contact our Member and Registrar Support team on 01865 332233 or by email to support@nominet.org.uk
