IEDR System Upgrades 22nd/23rd November

This weekend the IEDR are implementing a major systems change in relation to how their back end systems function. While the majority of these upgrades will be transparent to end users (IE domain owners) there are a few items you need to be aware of:

1 – From 5.30 Friday 22nd evening until afternoon of Saturday 23rd:

– No DNS changes will be possible

– No renewals will be processed (we will queue these however for Sat 23rd afternoon )

– No new domains will be registered (we will queue these however for Sat 23rd afternoon)

– These items affect all IE registrars

2 – Post Sat 23rd there is a new non-renewal/expiry process for domains:

– 1 day after a domain’s renewal date the owner of the domain will receive a non-renewal notice from the IEDR (In addition to reminders sent by LetsHost)

– 40 days after the domain’s renewal date, a domain will be suspended if not paid

– 70 days after the domain’s renewal date, a domain will be deleted if not paid – These actions (Mail/Suspend/Delete) will occur at 12 noon

LetsHost staff are working directly with the IEDR to ensure a smooth transition to this new back-end system. We will be on hand with any queries any users will have over the weekend – please log a call with us via your client area for any assistance you might need.
