Looking for something.sploink.org? Hostnames here belong to people running their own servers: at home, in a closet, on a Raspberry Pi. If one isn't loading, its server is probably napping. Let its owner know.
The sound a server makes when it comes back online.
A drop hits the water, and everything that was waiting ripples out again. That's the moment a home server reconnects after a power cut or a new address from the ISP, and its name here finds it again.
sploink.org is a shared home for hostnames. Each name under it belongs to a different person running their own server, through closetserver.com. A name here is theirs, not ours.
Every name here is registered by a person, and we look after the neighbourhood. If one is being used for phishing, malware or anything else it shouldn't be, tell abuse@closetserver.com. We usually act the same day.
Point a name at your own server, and keep it pointing there when your home address changes.
