Domain expiry cannot display a server suspension page. Their domain name is not the problem.

Their host must have deliberately suspended them. If it's the domain, it won't work at all or it would redirect to NIRA. it wont show a suspended page.

Makes sense to me!
But what about the expired domain name? Check the date pls.

The most important issue is that it is hosted on a foreign server.

The Nigerian Senate and all the proprietary sovereign information hosted on a foreign server.

It is high treason.

After a domain name expires, it enters a period known as "Deletion Period". For regular domain names this is a 90-day period. After which it gets deleted. After deletion, it enters Restoration Stage where it can be restored for a bigger price. Those are domains u see as for sale with large price. It becomes auctioned and the owner has 90 days to buy it back before it finally disappears. This applies to regular domains.

So in the case of special domains like. Government and the likes, the period may not be 90 days.. It may be 2 years or 5 years.

.gov.ca deletion period is 3. Years. I dont know how long .gov.ng is but it may be similar. That may explain why the domain is still working.

I may be wrong though but in all.. This government has failed.

To make a call back to America, in any American embassy in Nigeria or anywhere, American embassy workers need to enter a secure communication room to make a simple call.

That is how critically unsecured information is in today's world.

Yet the Nigerian Senate hosted national information on a foreign server. angry

Nigeria can never develop. The rest of the world will always see us coming.

Bluehost, which hosts the site, does that if malware is found anywhere on the server. Whether the web admins did it on purpose or if they were incompetent and did not protect the site properly is irrelevant. Clean up the site, contact Bluehost support and they will re-enable it.

I have been maintaining my website for years now and a whole Senate cannot sustain their website, yet each member receive about N14m monthly. Nigeria needs an overhaul and only young people can champion that.

The Senate website http://www.senate.gov.ng is suspended by its host, a USA based company, BlueHOSTS.

Could be one of two things.
1. Unpaid bills, which cannot (actually) be more than $2,400
2. Violation of the hosts Terms of Service (ToS)

They know they must host with Galaxy Backbone, setup by Government for handling its Communications needs, has all its infrastructure in Nigeria and is sufficiently competent to meet and exceed the needs of the Senate, but a party divided against itself will obviously fall.

Where all over the world, nations are reacting to GDPR and protecting its citizens and their privacy, a Government is hosting its sovereign information overseas, cannot pay its bill which may be lower than my estimate by the way, but over-inflated because of graft.

Can you see the capital flight and the inefficiency? The lawmaking body has demonstrated that they don’t have trust in local hosting firm thereby jettisoning and dumping buy Nigeria to grow the Naira policy of Buhari.

Later some officials will come to ask you … “What do you know about websites?” and the need to continue with your ignorance in 2019!https://etimes.com.ng/nigeria-senate-website-its-shutdown-implications-for-the-country/

That's what you get when you make armatures handle your website to reduce costs.
