[Completed] Email Maintenance Notice: Monday, September 28, 2026 @ 6:00 PM EDT

We have been notified that our email server provider will be performing maintenance during a 4-hour window scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM EDT.

Email services (POP, IMAP, Webmail) will be unavailable between 6:15 PM and 8:15 PM EDT on Monday, September 28, 2026.

Email services will be intermittent for the remainder of the time. This may be experienced as failed login attempts, slow response times, and other unexpected behavior.

Please follow our email server provider’s status page for progress updates and additional information.

This scheduled maintenance will affect customers who have an @widomaker.com (or @tni.net) email address. Additionally, some business customers using Widomaker’s “Enhanced Email” service, with their own domain name, will also be affected. Customers whose email is hosted on our Plesk servers will NOT be affected.

Thank you for your patience while our provider performs maintenance aimed at improving the security, stability, and resiliency of their platform.

Email Server Maintenance on Monday, June 26, 2023

We have received notification from our email server provider of upcoming maintenance. This may affect customers with widomaker.com (or tni.net) email addresses, as well as customers, with their own custom domain names, using our Enhanced Email hosting services. This maintenance will NOT affect customers with email hosted on our Plesk hosting servers.

On Monday, June 26, 2023, from 12:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. EDT, we will be performing service migration work and […] improvements. We are expecting 5 to 15 minutes of downtime during the migration as we need to restart our services. Requests made during this downtime window will fail, and you’ll want to reattempt them once services are restored. We do not expect any other service impacts or downtime.
