`mdn.io` domain is expired

Open SukkaW opened this issue 3 years ago • 13 comments

Would you mind renewing the domain?

If you are not able to pay for the domain anymore, please let me know and I can help with that.

You can also reach out to the MDN community to make mdn.io official.

Renewed!

@SukkaW Definitely down to get a few $$$ for it, Gandi charges $55/year for .io domains! I could enable Github Sponors or something.

@PatrickJS wanna lead the effort of reaching out to Mozilla about it? CC myself and @blakeembrey on it?

Also, @blakeembrey, are you paying for an instance to run this? Let's get you funded too if so, that's gotta cost something!

tld-list.com gives an at-least ~$30/yr renewal pricing ($33/yr on Cloudflare), but that's also not small money actually.

@outloudvi that's a lot better! I suppose I can transfer it in 2 years when it's up for expiration again. Meanwhile, $110 has already been sent to Gandi 💸

Just enabled GitHub sponsors, let's see if we can reach that lofty goal of 2 🥳 ! image

Cloudflare or fly.io problems wouldn't mind hosting it for free since its simple redirects

The project is already written for Cloudflare Workers, and Cloudflare has a sponsorship program (https://developers.cloudflare.com/sponsorships/).

@lazd You may try to get in touch with Cloudflare (os-opensource at cloudflare.com IIRC), requesting a free "unlimited" Cloudflare Workers plan.

@lazd I’m good with hosting it, but if you do want to transfer it to Cloudflare I can add it to the same account I’m using for the code.

Howdy y'all, we're up for renewal again! @SukkaW you wanna run point on contacting Cloudflare to see if they'll sponsor us? I tweeted begging for sponsors, I doubt anything will come of that.

We could also reach out to Mozilla, anyone got contacts? @PatrickJS? @blakeembrey?

I am happy to pay it ongoing if you want to transfer it over.

blakeembrey avatar Mar 12 '24 16:03 blakeembrey

@blakeembrey I was hoping someone could pick up reaching out to get the site sponsored, let's see what happens with that. If not, I'll send the domain your way and we can renew it cheaper at Dynadot or wherever for cheaper than Gandi.

Closing as resolved.
