Own Identity (the ICANN-accredited registrar we use to register and manage .COM/.NET/.ORG/.INFO/.BIZ/.NAME/.TEL/.ASIA/.MOBI-domains) has problems with a major hardware failure that has necessitated replacement of hardware and restoration of data. This is a long and tedious process and is expected to finish around 12:00 AM GMT on March 12 2009. We are doing everything we can to bring the system up as soon as possible and will keep you posted.
Rest assured that all operations will resume normally as soon as we are online again.
All domain-names will continue working as normal, but updates are being impaired at the moment, as is the Whois-service. We have backup-copies of the entire Whois-database and another copy is stored safely by Iron Mountain, so that the Whois-information is guaranteed and protected.
All other domain-services (e.g. .IT, .EU, .DE, .AT, .NL, .FR etc.) are not affected by this.
We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.
UPDATE: Downtime is over, all domain-systems are back online.
