The invelos.com domain name was originally hosted with COMCAST using IP address 173.167.34.141, and was due to expire on 11-May-2025. From 16-Mar-2025, it appears this domain name hosting was transferred to IONOS INC. (Pennsylvania - Philadelphia), using IP address 74.208.214.200, with an expiry date of 11-May-2028. The IONOS domain transfer deal offered nil transfer fee and free SSL certificate for each account, so it wasn't surprising to see Ken Cole implement SSL for this domain name. From what I have read, the outage of this domain name in mid-January, 2026 was a consequence of a planned maintenance activity on the IONOS cloud server cluster based in Berlin, Germany that caused an unforeseen network instability with their gateway/core routers (BGP sessions failing and flapping). |
