I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.
I hope this teaches them the valuable lesson of always having domains with more than one registrar.
Or, hopefully, we migrate to a system more advanced than DNS registrars where your "name" can be taken down by an unrelated third party. The current system sucks and the fact that even the Fediverse relies on it (accounts are tied to domains, making full account migration impossible) makes even the remains of my pre-graduate CS student brain rumble.
The current DNS implementation works well but there should maybe be some ICANN rules that restrict regristars more.
I can't really think of a way to make it better without making it less secure.
This is the future of Feudalism
Back up at least
Most appropriately named domain registrar ever? They should have just gone ahead and named it iwantmynamebackgoddammit.
I wish to avoid any and all companies which do not have actual customer service, but I don't know if this is possible without spending a lot of extra money.
It works for me now? Not sure how long ago this was, timewise, but at least they are back on.
That can be just your DNS server having it cached. The servers behind it still exist
Yup. 45.33.107.166 works.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
