Interruption to services on Omega-NVME

During the below timeframe, the server will need to be shut down while the hardware is upgraded. Several reboots and tests will need to be performed during the upgrade process.
We expect the maximum time for the server to be offline will be 30-45 minutes.

Expected Maintenance Window:

Start Time: 2022-10-05 06:00 GMT +10 (Sydney)
End Time: 2022-10-05 07:30 GMT +10 (Sydney)

We have scheduled the upgrade to occur between 6:00 am and 7:30 am GMT+10 (Sydney) on Wednesday, 5th October 2022, as it is the lowest point of activity for the server.

While the server is shut down, any websites and emails will be offline.
Any emails sent to you while the server is offline will be queued and delivered once the server returns online.

The entire server and all accounts will be backed up before the upgrade, and we have a recovery server in place should the upgrades fail.

The omega-nvme server has been online for over 2 years, and this upgrade will ensure future stability and performance.

Websites and emails hosted on any of our other servers will not be affected by this upgrade.

Affecting Other - .au Domain Names

• 25/03/2022 17:46 - 07/04/2022 08:46
• Last Updated 25/03/2022 17:49

Due to issues launching the new .au direct domain names, newly registered domain names will not resolve to your chosen site until the DNS for the domain is manually added to the registry by Afilias.

Once you have registered your .au direct domain, you will be able to edit your Nameserver records through the client area domain manager; however, the DNS will not be synced to the registry until Afilias adds them manually. Once the DNS is manually added, your website will be able to resolve as normal.

Afilias will perform these actions once a day, Tuesday to Friday each week, which means you could have to wait a few days until your DNS records become active on the domain name.

The issue will also include changing Nameserver records for .au direct domains from one Nameserver to another.

We currently do not know when DNS will update automatically for .au direct domain names, although we have been informed that it could be at least a week before the fix is implemented.

This issue will not affect existing .au domain names such as .com.au and .net.au; these will continue to work as expected.
