Totally PEBKAS!

We’ve fixed our internal issue, hopefully won’t happen again.

What I really want is a hosting provider that just puts up a blank page on an expired domains, not show a bunch of ads.

Re:Ask HN: Professional Alternative to Namecheap on Friday October 03, 2025 @08:30PM (#45469374)
Totally was our fault not namecheap’s. What I don’t like is the parking onto a Google ads ridden page.
Re:Ask HN: Professional Alternative to Namecheap on Friday October 03, 2025 @08:29PM (#45469366)
Yup, that’s done now. Was an oversight on our part - we screwed up :)
Re:Ask HN: Professional Alternative to Namecheap on Friday October 03, 2025 @08:29PM (#45469361)
Totally, it wasn’t namecheaps fault, was completely ours.

But they parked it on a page that did ads to competitors, I’d like to find a provider that doesn’t do this.

A failure in the way we’re checking our Hotmeister emails. Definitely a problem internally.

We are fixing that.

The biggest issue is with expired domains they park it to a web page that advertises other people. Would like to avoid that.

Ask HN: Professional Alternative to Namecheap

Recently we had an outage where a domain name expired - we didn't get a warning that it expired due to various factors but it highlighted a freaking major flaw in our systems.Now, we are fixing it internally, but our current registration provider is namecheap (is hosted on dnsimple) for this domain, which "helpfully" put up a parking page when the site expired which meant some of our client...

Re:Heroku Down? on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @06:32PM (#44242224)
To restart your heroku dynos from the CLI, do the following:

CLI command is:

`heroku restart --app <app-name>`

This does not work for private spaces, for those you need to do:

`heroku ps:stop <dyno-type> --app <app-name>`

Where <dyno-type> is probably web, worker etc.

Once down, then you do:

`heroku restart --app <app-name>`

This has gotten about 10 apps online already for us so far - we are monitoring our fleet of 100 heroku apps and moving through the rest.

This is a pain in the butt.

Re:Heroku Down? on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @06:28PM (#44242187)
Looks like we are getting production sites up and running again by restarting either via the CLI or the dashboard, worth a try if you are down.
Re:Heroku Down? on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @04:18PM (#44241027)
12 hours in and sites are still down, https://status.heroku.com/incidents/2822
Re:Heroku Down? on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @04:00PM (#44240826)
Now a wider isssue, status.salesforce.com is also down
Re:Heroku Down? on Tuesday June 10, 2025 @06:35AM (#44235027)
Doesn't look like a cloudfront issue per se, though that is the error that comes up when trying to get to the Heroku dashbaord.

Heroku Down?

So dashbaord.heroku.com is timing out, status.heroku.com is showing an error page. Someone at Heroku I got hold of say it's something to do with Cloudfront. Anyone have more data?Outage report found here https://status.salesforce.com/generalmessages/10001540

Heroku Outage from AWS CloudFront Issue?

We are seeing major disruption on multiple sites, status.heroku.com is not useful. Just spoke to someone from Salesforce who mentioned it looks like an underlying AWS Cloudfront issue. Anyone with more data? Multiple production sites just time out including the heroku dashboard itself.

Ask HN: Recommendation for Intermediate CSS Course?

A co-worker asked for a recommendation for a good CSS course for them to learn further. They are not a total beginner and can do fairly complex styling and the like, however, they have been 100% self taught and so have picked up things that are just the wrong way of doing it.Most intermediate courses I've found focus on CSS frameworks or precompilers and the like, he doesn't want this as most...

Re:Ask HN: Best way to manage a small fleet of Macs on Tuesday May 16, 2023 @06:49AM (#35959992)
I am on Google Workspace, to be honest, more than a little concerned with the legendary Google support if something goes pear shaped... but I didn't know they had a device manager, will check it out. Thanks :)

Ask HN: Best way to manage a small fleet of Macs

In a growing startup, we have settled on macs as our work machines using cloud software for most of our work. We are at about 20 people now and plan to grow over the next few years pretty rapidly and I want the company to get on top of the IT and equipment issues (think compliance, SOC2 etc). What are other startups using for this to start small and grow and be able to keep track of systems...

Thanks for the reply, why do you say it seem like a natural ordering for a wire protocol?
