Hello, 

What is the domain name you're having trouble with?

I've received word that this maintenance will go through mid-August. 

 

Again, you will see very little effect from this maintenance. Customers may occasionally experience issues updating DNS or accessing your domain settings. Other than that, any issues you may experience are unrelated and should be reported in a separate post.

Hello, 

We are currently unable to provide an exact window, as our team is testing how many domains we can work on each day. We should have more information regarding this by next week.

You can publish without issue. The only thing that may see a disruption at times is your ability to edit your domain's DNS.

thats b.s.  I cant publish anything.

It says its "published"  but it isn't...and I've tried on at least 3 different computers and a smartphone, so it wasn't cookie issue.

@russ3073​ I completely agree with you! I have been with this company 10+ years and the last 2 have been absolutely horrible.  The email rarely works. I pay for two domains but only one works. The one website that does work has so many added characters that the text cannot be read properly. Now this "maintenance" has been going on several months with no legit responses.  Grrrr

@michael6942​ That looks like spam (actually, a phishing attack) to me. I sure hope you didn't click on that link.

I agree with Steve. This is not something we sent. Please disregard this and run a malware scan if you did click on anything.

I am not trying to publish anything right now, but wanted to start working on a new domain I've added at lasvegasvirtualnotary.com.  I selected a template a day or two ago, but when it clicked over, I got the 404 message.  Website Manager icon says "Website Preview Generating" with just the Homestead logo, and when I click to "Edit Site" I get the 404 message again.  Is this part of the maintenance issue?  Thank you!

Hello, 

This has nothing to do with the maintenance, but does unfortunately happen sometimes. Please try creating a new site and please let me know if you get the same error.

Crazy!  I just added "lasvegasvirtualnotary" and chose the same template...and it worked!  I am in the Editor now.

What are my next steps?  I need this to point to the new domain I purchased (lasvegasvirtualnotary.com) instead of onlinenotary.

Is "onlinenotary" just flapping in the breeze somewhere now? LOL!

Thanks so much for your help!

I recently made a new site and switched it over, bad timing. Should I switch the domain back to the older site until the maintenance is done?

Maintenance means I can't update my website? This is serious. I have a following at NeptuneCafe and they read my updates weekly. When will my updates get published?

Hello, 

I've ensured your domain is set to auto-renew. No other action is necessary.
