Hours have passed since the collapse of #Facebook and the other two platforms under its umbrella, #Instagram and #WhatsApp. A short time ago, it was stated that the domain name of the Facebook platform was #sold. But before anyone knew what had happened, the domain name was back in Facebook.
As it is known, WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram faced a crash problem yesterday evening. Platforms, which could not be accessed for hours, made statements on the subject in a short time. Then, a Twitter user made an extremely surprising statement about Facebook. The person named #Chad #Loder showed that the domain name of the Facebook platform is available for sale in the image he shared on #Twitter. These domain names, which caused surprise, albeit for a short time, returned to Facebook Inc.
❓What is DNS A record?
#DNS A covers the IP information of any site's domain name. This formula will be valid for IPv4 type addresses. For IPv6 type addresses, DNS AAAA is preferred. Internet users, together with their names in these formulas, can connect by typing the specified domain name into the browser instead of the IP address of the sites.
👀This situation did not go unnoticed by the Twitter CEO
Chad Loder shared an image on Twitter that shows Facebook.com leaving the Facebook company. In the statement made on the subject, the situation was like this for Instagram and WhatsApp. After the platform's statement on Twitter that "we are doing our best", Twitter CEO #Jack #Dorsey was also quick to share. Dorsey shared Loder's post with “How much?” He retweeted it.
✅Domain is back on Facebook
The access problem on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram platforms seems to have been resolved. But the fact that these domain addresses are empty makes the situation a little mysterious. “After the domain names were vacated, it returned to Facebook Inc. a short time later.
✅Poorly coded site tools may have caused this situation
On the other hand, this announcement, which indicates that Facebook's domain name is up for sale, may be due to any badly coded intermediary on the internet or some rival domain name vendors who want to take advantage of this situation in the event of a crash. So much so that Facebook registers its own domain name registration through #Registrarsafe, which it previously purchased. In other words, Facebook's domain name is still within Facebook.
