We're probably going to wait this one out. We considered putting up a new domain but there are implications with third party services that make it not a trivial swap. In the meantime, if you know how to tweak your hosts file use: 45.33.107.166

If you did this, don't forget to remove it again:

⚠️ If you do edit your hosts file, please remember to remove all the lines after domain is restored.

Although we typically hold an IP for a while, it can change if we update our back-end infrastructure.

Don't think it was ever "planned" to end, it's just unsure how Mauritius will handle the ccTLD, right?

Mauritius won't get the rights to .io, it's already held by a British corporation. Unless there's some kind of change since then.

Yeah, I didn't get a good wording there. I just mean is it still up in the air?

It is, all I found was this from October: https://domainnamewire.com/2024/10/09/io-domain-names-arent-going-away/
