What is maintenance.online.net?

Updated

maintenance.online.net is a maintenance page on the online.net domain that carries the Scaleway brand. You see it when Scaleway services or infrastructure are under maintenance, and it points visitors to Scaleway.com, the datacenter site, documentation, and Scaleway's social channels.

What the page contains

The page is deliberately minimal. Its visible content is a set of links rather than status details or a countdown:

Link Where it leads
Scaleway.com The main Scaleway website
Datacenter Scaleway's datacenter site (datacenter.scaleway.com)
Documentation Scaleway documentation
Twitter, Slack, LinkedIn Scaleway's social and community channels

The page does not publish a maintenance schedule, an estimated completion time, or a description of which service is affected. The only signals are the brand and the link set.

Why it appears on online.net

online.net is the older domain associated with Scaleway's hosting heritage. A maintenance page served from that domain, branded as Scaleway, indicates that the maintenance relates to Scaleway infrastructure rather than to an unrelated third-party site. The link to the datacenter site reinforces that the scope is infrastructure-level.

What to do when you land on it

  1. Confirm the scope. Open Scaleway.com and the documentation link from the page to see whether the maintenance is announced there.
  2. Check the community channels. The Twitter, Slack, and LinkedIn links are the page's own pointers for updates; use them rather than reloading the maintenance page.
  3. Retry later. The page itself offers no timeline, so treat it as a signal to wait and re-check through the linked channels.

Common points of confusion

  • It is not a separate product. The page is a placeholder, not a service you can sign up for or configure.
  • It does not mean your account or data is affected in a specific way. The page gives no per-service detail; only Scaleway's own channels can clarify impact.
  • The online.net hostname is not a redirect to a different company. The Scaleway branding on the page is the identifying signal.

If you need current status or timing, the linked Scaleway channels are the only sources the page itself offers.
