What’s happening
A system wide outage has occurred in the Legacy Rogers/Shaw Hosting Infrastructure. The email issue you’re experiencing is related to legacy infrastructure that we inherited from Rogers Communications Inc. in 2024, which includes customers from Shaw Hosting.
Why this is occurring
Since inheriting it, we’ve been methodically moving customers off this system, due to it's age and concerns with reliability but over time it has become less stable and more prone to failures. To date we have dealt with these issues as they have affected smaller numbers of customers and we have actively been migrating customers off of this system with as much a speed as possible but due to the age of the system it takes individual attention to migrate customers and so the progress has been slow.
Impact
The problem is expanded to include both email and web hosting services.
You are only affected if you were previous a Rogers or Shaw Hosting customer and are still using the Legacy system (the same panels and interfaces that you would have used when you were with Rogers/Shaw).
What we’re doing
We are actively working with the upstream operators of this legacy system while they address the issue.
However, because this infrastructure is outside of our direct control, resolution timing is not something we can fully dictate.
Why migration is now being discussed
This situation is exactly why we’ve been encouraging customers to transition off this inherited platform.
As the infrastructure continues to age, these issues are becoming more frequent and harder to resolve quickly.
To Request Immediate Migration: contact us by phone at 289-803-9089 ext 2, or ext 1 or send an email using another email account like Gmail or Yahoo to migrations@easyonnet.com and request that we migrate your domain. Please make sure to identify yourself by name, and the domain you are requesting. We will respond in the ticket or call you to give you an update.
All of our operators have been directed to take calls on any extension regarding this issue.
What we need to confirm first
Before moving anything, we’ll verify that your account is fully synchronized and safe to migrate.
We have been running syncronizations every 24 hours to our new state of the art servers for months now in preparation and have moved over 2000 customers so far out of the legacy system.
Most accounts are ready and have only been awaiting scheduling but we must confirm before proceeding.
Next steps
Let us know whether you’d like us to check your migration readiness and whether you’re able to update DNS today.
If not, we’ll continue to monitor the legacy platform and keep you updated.
Reassurance
Our long-term goal is to fully retire this inherited infrastructure and eliminate these kinds of outages entirely.

Affecting Other - Cloudflare.com
UPDATE: Cloudflare believes the issue is now resolved (see the status page below). Aftershocks are still being reported but they have implemented a fix.
You can find information about the Clouflare outage here:
https://www.cloudflarestatus.com/
The Outage is having wide reaching affects on services all over the world, including services like X.com and ChatGPT itself.
Any customers using cloudflare for DNS are affected potentially and will have to monitor cloudflare's status page above for updates!
Rest assured any services with Easy On Net that are integrated with a Cloudflare nameserver are in working order, but rendered innaccessible by Cloudflare's outage.
We are monitoring the situation as best we can and will assist customers with accessing data if needs be, but for now we advise that customers wait and give Cloudflare a chance to get their systems back up and service restored, it is still very early.
