We are doing some DNS updates at midnight tonight for the following domains: tracking202.com and static.tracking202.com

This will result in all services being hosted on static.tracking202.com and tracking202.com to go down. This will result in the tracking202.com interface being down, and javascript codes will not load during this time on your landing pages. (This may last anywhere between an hour to 6 hours while the DNS propagates.) HOWEVER YOUR REDIRECTS WILL STILL BE PROCESSED as the domain: redirect.tracking202.com will not be affected by this DNS update.

Again all of your redirects will still be processed, but the interface will be down during this time. The DNS update will start at 11:59PM PST on Dec 3rd, 2008. Tonight.

We will be doing some maintenance on our server cluster starting friday Dec 1st, at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time. All of our services may be temporarily down while we work on the servers. The expected down-time should last no longer than 5-15 minutes. This is an advanced notice.
