Dear Fedi friends,
You know how grateful I am for your help and expertise. I have a burning question and I know some of you may have the correct answer.
Long story short, I had been doing a deep dive into #WSocial. My exposé published on Friday got 830 boosts!
I am working on a follow-up piece and there's something I don't understand.
The homepage of W Social is now redirecting - from wsocial.eu to wsocial.news
If I put wsocial.news in WHOIS databases, I'm finding very little information about when it was registered. And there's some odd stuff, like showing an IP address in Washington DC - but they are very adamant of being hosted in Europe... and they use bunny.net (Slovenia). What gives?
*** UPDATE ***
I got my answer thanks to @ludman1 - who recommended I check out https://dnslytics.com/ - GREAT SITE!
Now an additional question: why would they redirect from dot EU to dot NEWS? I don't understand... their PDS is still wsocial.eu
