Scheduled Maintenance in Preparation for Gateway Portal v3 Upgrade (11 June 2026)

We would like to inform you of scheduled maintenance on our systems in preparation for the major upgrade of the Gateway Registrar Portal from version 2 to version 3.

To ensure a smooth transition to the new platform, the following services will be temporarily unavailable during this maintenance window:

• EPP (Extensible Provisioning Protocol)
• RDDS (WHOIS & RDAP)
• Registrar Portal (Web access)

Downtime Details

• Date: Thursday, 11 June 2026
• Time: 07:30 – 09:30 SAST
• Expected Duration: Up to 2 hours

Reason

This maintenance is necessary to perform essential backend preparations ahead of the upcoming Gateway Portal v3 upgrade.

Impact

During the maintenance window, you will be unable to:

• Connect via EPP, API or WHMCS
• Access the Registrar Portal
• Query WHOIS or RDAP services

All services are expected to be fully restored by 09:30 SAST. The actual migration to version 3 will take place at a later date, and we will provide separate advance notice for that major upgrade.

We apologise for any inconvenience this preparatory maintenance may cause and thank you for your continued patience as we work to deliver significant improvements to performance, stability, and features in the upcoming v3 release.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our support team.

Thank you for your continued partnership with Gateway SRS.
