All of our Win sites experienced a 50 minute downtime due to an issue with the system that routes traffic to our frontend servers.
This was not a DDoS, nor was it a traffic issue.
TheDonald.xyz, TheDonald.one, and TheDonald.space will be activated only in the very unlikely scenario that the main domain is completely dropped (which would mean it's never coming back), not for issues like this one.
I'm not too smart but, what's the system CALLED that routes traffic to front end servers?
The machine that goes ping, of course.
They lease it back from the company they sold it to, you see, and that way it comes out of the monthly budget and not the capital accounts.
edge router or load balancer. depends on the setup
