We would like to report a serious issue
We would like to report a serious issue regarding the suspension of our domain and email services due to payment timing inconsistencies.
According to the Aruba panel, the expiration date was Sunday. However, the payment was already made on Friday morning (two days before expiration) and reached the receiver bank on Monday. Despite this, the service was suspended from early Monday until Tuesday, and even after reactivation, it took around 20 hours for the DNS to fully propagate.
During this period, the DNS was unresponsive and our email accounts were unable to receive messages.
What concerns us the most is that all incoming emails sent during this time were permanently lost. For a technical business, email communication is critical, and losing messages from clients and partners can cause serious operational and financial issues.
We understand that temporary suspension may occur if the payment is not yet registered in your system. However, we strongly believe that such a system should be designed more responsibly. In particular, it would be much more reasonable if:
Incoming emails were still accepted and temporarily stored, then delivered once the service is reactivated, or
At the very least, only outgoing emails were suspended, while incoming emails remained active for a short grace period
We do not believe this issue affects only us. If it does, we would have to consider requesting compensation for damages. Otherwise, we must say that this approach seems extremely harsh for customers who have been regularly paying for years.
Completely rejecting and permanently losing incoming emails creates a significant risk for business continuity and is not acceptable for professional services.
We would appreciate your clarification on this matter and any possible solution to prevent such situations in the future.
