Storefront services are online. There was an issue with the pricing module for approximately the past hour. Customers would have been unable to set new pricing or modify existing pricing for their Storefronts. Our development team investigated the issue and made the necessary adjustments. All other Storefront functionality was working well including buying domains.

We will provide you with an incident summary by end of business day Monday, March 2, 2009. Check back on this status post for those details.

There was an approximate 45 minute degraded issue starting around 02:50 EST (07:00 UTC).

.ES is online.

Incident summary:
The .ES registry experienced latency issues resulting connection timeouts for the past few weeks. OpenSRS consistently tested the service availability during peak and non-peak hours on a daily basis. Our tests identified ongoing issues. We communicated with the .ES registry on a regular basis advising that we could not provide .ES services to our customers. The .ES registry technical department was able to isolate the latency issue to one of their servers. They addressed this issue. Testing by the registry and our NOC/Ops departments showed that response times improved significantly. The .ES services were returned online.
