[kictanet] Kenic seems to be down

[lordmwesh]

Hi Robert,

If you have paid Orange for the renewal, and their sysAdmin has updated the
status of the domain from Suspended to Renewed, then the domain will be
available online during the next DNS propagation. When lucky, this may take
an hour, but theoretically, be braced for up-to 72hours. The problem is,
huge companies have long process flows, and documentation before
authorization is issued for the renewal.

Just hustle them.

You can check the status of your domain by doing a simple whois at the KENIC
tool https://registry.kenic.or.ke/login.jsp

Kind regards
Mwendwa
