Apparently from their support they have no access to any systems as its all offline so likely they cant access their emails at the moment either

If people have domains they need to urgently manage, it may be possible to e-mail their support team and request an EPP/UDAI code to move these to an alternate provider, where one can then change their nameservers to an alternate provider (*cough* Cloudflare *cough​​*)... They will still have access to login to their registry portal to manually process these requests, regardless of their DNS system status. Be persistent.

 

If you ask for a code, they have to give you a code. I'm aware this is made mandatory by DNC NZ for the .nz ccTLD, however for gTLDs it may be more of a challenge.

Their Network Status Message https://www.discountdomains.co.nz/network-status has finally had an update in the last hour. Basically says 'aware, investigating'. But there's a whole boatload of important infrastructure down and unreachable right now, and a lot of very anxious customers waiting for further information. Mark.
