No; there was a maintenance of the whois system.

This domain is on CLIENT hold, which means one of two things:

-You need to update the record to put it in DNS

-Your registrar is blocking it being re-added to DNS for reasons
having to do with payment not having completed or something.

That's a really bad idea.  People will forget to remove it later, and
then when the IP changes, it'll break.
