16th July 2026 – Planned Maintenance
On Thursday 16th July between 11:00 – 12:30 BST (UTC+1), we will be conducting maintenance.
Completing this work helps improve the security, stability, and ongoing resilience of our services while keeping customer-facing systems up to date.
No downtime is expected as part of this release. However, users may experience connection resets to customer-facing applications during the maintenance window and may need to reload the application to restore service.
UK WHOIS responses will be updated to include a deprecation notice. Customers or systems that query UK WHOIS may see this additional notice in responses following the release.
