Ah! I admit I haven't been following the latest in drama-land too closely. I was still under the impression they had a
full hosting deal. Guess it'll be interesting to see where they land.

I see your point, but I am not sure running the authoritative name
servers for a site meets the popular definition of "hosting" them.
Epik is currently denying that they are going to host Parler in a
traditional sense, though they are the registrar for parler.com. since
a couple of days ago.
Of course, Amazon could ding Epik for being Parler's registrar, but
that would truly be a reach, since they aren't Parler's Web host.

In case anyone thought Amazon was being particularly *careful* around their
enforcement of Parler's ban...this is from
today on parler's new host:
$ dig parler.com ns

parler.com. 300 IN NS ns4.epik.com.
parler.com. 300 IN NS ns3.epik.com.

ns3.epik.com. 108450 IN A 52.55.168.70
$ whois 52.55.168.70

and for the curious, ns4.epik.com is hosted by an Epik sub, but from a cursory
glance appears to be single-homed to
CDN77, which is vaguely surprising to me.

Anybody looking for a new customer opportunity? It seems Parler is in
search of a new service provider. Vendors need only provide all the
proprietary AWS APIs that Parler depends upon to function.
