Our servers are up all the time, with rare exceptions. If we must perform maintenance, we will communicate this in advance via our blog http://docking.org, which is also available as an RSS feed. We also try to use our Facebook page http://facebook.com/zincdb and our twitter feed @chem4biology when we remember. If there is an unscheduled outage (crash), we will do our best to communicate this via our blog as soon as possible. If our servers appear down or broken and we have not communicated this, we would be grateful to be told via support at docking.org or +(415) 937-1461
