.ai registry down

[HotKey]

.AI registry not resolving. It's been a couple of days now, this is concerning to say the least. Usually when something goes awry I give the party in doubt a day or two to clean up their act before b!tching about it. But in this case this is a registry who is also the registrar, and no notification to it's users.

I know the operator was planning a few changes in September, so it could be related. It's a one-man gig, so something goes wrong it could be a big deal.

Looks like registered domains aren't being affected, they all still resolve.

Can anyone confirm if registering domains worked in those last days?

Also Hurricane Irma may be a cause.

Also Hurricane Irma may be a cause.

You're right- Anguilla was right in the path and one of the places hit. Likely suffered damage of sorts to either telecom infrastructure or server location. Report of 1 person dead.
Hurricane Jose right on it's heels too..

Please be informed that following Hurricane Irma, registrations for .AI won’t be possible for the time being.
