Yes, after 6h without getting much responses from Google Domains support, we just got a notification that they unblocked our domains.

We are working on making sure that everything is correctly working.

Workaround that we've setup to allow our users to still access the platform through different hostnames will continue working.

Do you plan to stay with Google considering the experience?

No we don't, we were already planning on consolidating everything on Cloduflare, we are just going to make the switch sooner.

We'll share more details in the postmortem.

I'd be interested to know what this heavy handed policy was, assuming Google Domains gave you that information. I hope it wasn't something egregious or frivolous as I've seen with other parts of their organisation.

> consolidating everything

Are you sure that's the best strategy?

HN seems to be the last resort to get Google to help :/

You can do the same elsewhere, any sufficiently large or deep social networking would work.

gitbook.com is working but gitbook.io is having trouble redirecting.
