It's just an update page while they are working on it - showing they have a hosting service again.

Yeah that's what I mean lol finding a hosting service after what happened was probably the biggest logistical challenge. Now they just need to completely rebuild the platform from scratch .

Hosting service was a difficult step, except they could have just built their own onsite servers if it came to it. The problem is that Parler built their service using AWS cloud infrastructure tools and now they must redevelop the entire platform to function without Amazon's APIs.

Yes and as a web developer, I know how tedious that process is going to be. It's nice that they found a hosting service though, because self-hosting a massive social media website like that would be incredibly difficult. I think they will be better off for it though, because if they do a good job, the site will be more secure and perhaps even faster.
