This maintenance only affects .CA domain names. If you have a .CA domain, you may be unable to make changes to your registry records and domain name servers during the maintenance window. New .CA domain registrations may be delayed and queued for completion after the outage. Your existing .CA hosted websites and email will continue to work without disruption.

CIRA, the .CA registry, is performing system maintenance from 1 am to 6 am EST on Sunday, March 7, 2010.

We’ll keep you informed if there are any changes to this timeline.

On Sunday, March 7, we will be performing minor maintenance to our online ticketing system in the Hover help website. The maintenance is scheduled between 12 pm and 3 pm EST.

This maintenance should have no impact on your ability to access help desk tickets or the Hover Help website. Please report any problems to help@hover.com.
