This is one of those operations that takes only a few minutes if you’ve done it a thousand times before. 🙂 But we’ve sort of addressed the imminent possible problem of our secondary mail relay service changing one of their requirements. To be frank, although this maintenance needed (and still needs) to be done, we’ve instead done a lot of manual work that has addressed the immediate problem before the weekend.
But we do need to spin up two new nameservers; it’s been at the top of our list for some time, and will greatly improve how you will be able to manage the nameservice for your domains. Since we last did this a few years ago we’ve found that we have greater choice of software and methods than we had before, and so we’re going to take some time over the weekend to evaluate a number of different options. Finishing the maintenance over the weekend will also ensure that we avoid stepping on anybody’s toes in the middle of their changing their DNS.
We will finish over the weekend and continue to post further updates here. Thank-you for your patience.
