I have been getting an error which says "maintenance in progress - domain switching disabled" on Blogger. Why does this happen, and how can I fix it? Is it just a matter of waiting?

normally this type of problem solves in 24 to 72 hours if it isn't solved contact the host providers.

Hi Anandu,Yes, it is just a matter of waiting AFAIK. Blogger recently announced that "the old interface is going away in a few days" (the "classic" dashboard and profiles where you edit your blog and settings). Google is doing some major upgrades to integrate Blogger with G+ and other services, so things will be a little wonky for at least the next week or so (note I said "at least").I got this error too. I have both a self-hosted WP blog and a Blogger blog and wanted to redirect my Blogger blog to the custom domain I also use for WordPress, but just for right now, it's a no-go. Maybe check back around October or so -- it's only a couple weeks away. :-)

This error is shown whenever there is some sort of a scheduled maintenance work going on. It usually gets resolved within the day.

I have the exact same problem, it's been 5 days for me now too, and since I bought the .com domain for my site i keep getting a 404 (not found) error whenever i visit the new website, even though i have registered it and my .blogspot.com has successfully redirected to the .com

I think this is not an issue that we can solve.May be the maintenance section of blogger doing some kind of maintenance work may be for better workflow. I don't know how much time it take to become normal condition .If anybody know that please let me knowThanks

How much time left has the domain to expire??Maybe you need to pay for another year!Also, it might be a temporary problem of Blogger!Since, it's saying: maintenance in progress..So it might be just a matter of waiting!Wait some more days, and see if the problem is still there or not!
