Maybe the server crashed and it is one of those instances that @captbaritone might be able to restart it? (As mentioned in #390 (comment))

It seems the record was updated yesterday. Maybe the domain name was lost.

I'm not sure who owns (owned?) the domain. Maybe @sophiebits?

Hey awesome folks who are maintaining it,
Thanks a lot for all the work you have put up.
I would like to understand and help in fixing the issue.
Please let me know. I still see the site is down.

I wrote an email to Jordan (captbaritone). He answered, but as he answered that, he is not sure who held the domain.
I wrote to Sophie (sophiebits), but she doesn't answer. I don't know what to do else.

Hello guys,

If you want to access the website, it still answers at 198.58.101.18, so you can edit your hosts file to resolve it on your machine. I found the IP address by watching the IP history of the domain. 🙂

# /etc/hosts
198.58.101.18 vimawesome.com

EDIT: I registered https://vimaweso.me/ (you'll encounter an ssl warning) and pointed it to their server, so that you can access the website without any system change. I contacted Jordan, David and Sophie to ask them to add this domain to the trusted ones, I'll keep you posted when they'll reply.

Hmm. I don't think I have the domain – best guess from my emails is that @divad12 registered it originally. I'll ping him separately in case he isn't checking GitHub notifications.

Site seems back up for me.

@divad12 and I were able to renew the domain last night for another 5 years. It's also been adjusted so that we both have access to manage the domain, which will hopefully avoid future outages. It's our plan to continue to keep the site online.

Thanks everyone here for flagging this – especially @TornaxO7 for filing and @closingin for the email (@vyavdoshenko, I don't seem to have ever received your message).

@sophiebits I found your contact email address at your github profile. It seems my email can be marked as spam. Anyway it's awesome that vimawesome.com is back.
