Looks like the problem is with the hosting site. Unfortunately we do not directly control the web server. As a temporary workaround, edit the /etc/yum.repos.d/elrepo.repo file :

(1) Comment out the "mirrorlist=" line.
(2) Remove "http://elrepo.org/linux/elrepo/el9/$basearch/" from the baseurl list.

[update] Adjust the 'elrepo' and 'el9' part as needed.

I connected to the hoster's chat and got this message:

"Due to routine maintenance on Friday, September 12th, into Saturday, September 13th, your account manager and access to your services will be unavailable Friday, starting at 10pm Eastern. Your website will continue to function during this time. Thank you for your understanding."

But it is way before "10pm Eastern" now.

Your website will continue to function during this time. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding."
