Fun knowledge gain:
If you have bought a domain for your Neocities site, issues like we faced today will not affect your site as harshly. Going to your url will still load the site, though you will not be able to edit.
I found out because I have a vanity domain and could still load my site fine.
RIP our productivity though.

It was really funny getting an email from someone today saying they visited and enjoyed my site in the middle of the outage. Custom domainers stay winning
yeah i could access mine still but couldn't update while the main site was down, which was annoying but its back up now
that makes me wonder what really caused the outage then. i assume it was some sort of domain issue? as in the neocities.org domain and its subdomains went down and couldn't point to the servers which ran perfectly fine. i wonder if connecting by IP would have worked. probably would.
on the neocities bsky they were posting that it was some random legal complaint with namecheap, and that the domain was getting suspended because of it
This is why I prefer porkbun over namecheap. The customer service is top tier in comparison
PORKBUN SWEEP!!!!!!!!!!
