FAA National Airspace Incident Monitoring System (NAIMS) NOTAMS system stopped uploading new NOTAMS on Date. I revised a flight release on the aircraft. I was relieving Dispatch desks XX and XX1. Both of those dispatchers did not tell me that the FAA NOTAM system was not updating with newly issued NOTAMS. I saw a screen printer message to access Defense Internet NOTAMs Service (DINS) to look-up NOTAMS. Due to task saturation and dealing with multiple storms en-route; multiple re-routes; phone calls and turbulence I was unable to access DINS for the flight. When I could access DINS; the server wasn't responding due to overload. The flight landed and blocked in at ZZZ without incident.  The cause was the FAA NAIMS NOTAM system not updating with newly issued NOTAMS. I believe if this happens again in the future there needs to be better communication on turnovers that the issue is occurring. I also think that supervisors should make an announcement in the department shortly after a new shift starts to let them know of the issue. Multiple screen printer messages I think would also help. But most importantly this information needs to be included on turnovers and an announcement over the PA should be made by the ATC desk; Chief Dispatcher or Duty Director.
Air Carrier Dispatcher reported NOTAMS were not updating through the company's system.
