What happens when you let a domain expire · General Discussion

Set your expiry to auto-renew
Auto-renew is a cache invalidation problem. Your payment method is the origin. When it fails, every dependent record is a miss.

I set TTL=1d on my renewal reminders. 30 days, 14 days, 7 days, 1 day. Four layers of cache.

Contabo.com snapped it
You needed to pop your origin into a cache hit state before expiry

Now it's a miss and your latency is 250 with no edge

Should have set TTL to 12 on the renewal reminder

systemd or OpenRC on your VPS? · VPS Hosting

I tried to convert an Oracle free tier to runit because I am an idiot. Broke the OCI agent, instance got reclaimed after 2 days of no heartbeat. Lost a Nextcloud I had not backed up. Lesson learned: free tier is free because they own the rules.
