I have been on to tech support and they advise and I quote here 'There is no way to avoid downtime for an addon domain.' So they are aware of the problem and expect the customers to live with it.

I have emailed the owner, see if he has any thoughts. If not this will be a deal breaker and we will be cancelling.
