Everyday, for about an hour NP goes down

[the_poet]

Everyday at about 9:00 - 9:10 AM UTC, for about an hour, NamePros becomes very very slow. It's unbelievable how you can use it regularly until 9 AM and how you can't even load a page (not to mention posting) for the following 50/60 minutes.

I've been noticing this weird behaviour for at least 2 months. Am I the only one who experience this?

Seen exactly the same, same timeperiod too.

I believe it was maintenance time. Usually big forum need some time to clean up database and tune / tweak it.

The time it goes down for me is 1am - 1:20 am PST approximately.

Scheduled maintenance I believe

It must be scheduled maintenance for sure. The funny thing is every morning I rush to check threads/leave posts by 9:00 AM UTC

I've experienced this too. When this started happening, I used to google: "Namepros site down" to see if there was something about it on another forum.

Is it going to be permanently like this? I think it's been happening for about 3 months already.

I don't mind it at all though-if it has to be done, then I understand.

I wait patiently. Namepros is the place!!

It's down one hour everyday for daily backups Here in the US it's down 2-3am so people on the other side of the world are unlucky.
