      My website and catalyst admin has been down for the last two hours. I have contacted you by ticket and email with no reply.

      This time of year is very busy for us and our customers canot access our online sales through links on our website.

       

      Please help and advise on issues.

            Hi Spencer,

             

            Apologies for the inconvenience created. Liam is right, there is a maintenance being performed currently but the good news is that we are almost done.

            We'll update the status page as soon as everything is working properly again.

             

            Best regards,

            Daniel

                Spencer,

                 

                It looks like the reason your site is down is not the maintenance we performed today but a recent change of information at your domain registrar:

                Only Domains - Global Domain Name Registrar

                It looks like either the DNS record have been changed or your domain name subscription expired. In any case I recommend contacting the domain registrar to sort out this issue.

                 

                Best regards,

                Daniel Giuclea

                            Hi Spencer,

                             

                            With no modifications brought on the registrar side, it seems this was definitely caused by the maintenance performed, and though downtime was expected(and announced), I cannot yet determine why the impact was this lengthy in your particular case. We'll take action to figure out the cause of this occurrence and make sure future releases are deployed with a lesser degree of impact on our customer pages uptime.

                             

                            Once again apologies for the inconvenience.

                             

                            Kind Regards,

                            Alex

                              I am afraid that while my colleague's assessment might be more reassuring, it is incorrect and it doesn't help you prevent such an occurrence moving forward.

                              If you look carefully in the information you pasted in this thread you will see that the last update date at your registrar is today and the status is clientHold which according to ICANN means:

                               

                              clientHold - This status code tells your domain’s registry to not include your domain in the zone file and as a consequence, it will not resolve. It is an uncommon status that is usually enacted during legal disputes, nonpayment, or when your domain is subject to deletion. Often, this status indicates an issue with your domain that needs resolution. If so, you should contact your registrar to resolve the issue. If your domain does not have any issues, but you need it to resolve, you must first contact your registrar and request that they remove this status code. source

                               

                              My recommendation is to contact the registrar as soon as possible and enquire into the cause that led to them listing this status and also removing your zone from the records, albeit temporarily in this case.

                               

                              Best regards,

                              Daniel Giuclea
