| Also doesn't use AWS or Azure because it didn't go down with them either. |

| ▲ | us0r 9 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | I thought the same until I started looking: Name Server: NS-225.AWSDNS-28.COM
Name Server: NS-1411.AWSDNS-48.ORG
Name Server: NS-1914.AWSDNS-47.CO.UK
Name Server: NS-556.AWSDNS-05.NET At least for DNS. Data center appears to be Lightedge. |

| ▲ | ArcHound 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | I'd love to read an article describing the HN setup. Seems that they got a lot of things right - self registration, influx of people during outages and plenty others. Admins, if you see this, please write about your craft! | | |
