I have already raised this point and emailed you with no reply.
You provide a (nice) API which is very useful for registering domains quickly around drop time. But every single morning at 9.35-9.40 UCT your server goes down for 10 minutes maintenance - right in the middle of the .info drops. Which is annoying to say the least.
I suspect that the server is actually crashing because the time is slightly different each day by a few minutes here and there. Alternatively I suspect they may be having network/bandwidth issues with the volume of requests received around this time and the only solution is to pull the plug for 10 minutes. Which would also explain why they have not fixed it and why it takes 10 minutes to 'reboot'.
Come on Dynadot tell us what the real reason is. I have spent over $10k with you - is that not enough?

I don't think I was trying to register at drop time much before 1 month ago so cannot really remember but , no I don't think there were any problems initially.
