It is saturday! Guy had a trouble during non-business times and advice to make a complaint to ACCC? People who unlock accounts do not work on weekends, it is not front line of support who works all the time. What happened with giving a chance to people (which is Apple consists of) to actually do something before complaining to 4 letter agency? Also ACCC will not deal with such complaints. It says right on their home page.

Hi! I am Dmitry Ulupov and I am running this service. You can talk directly to me at any time. My email is dima at ulupov dot com.

What a terrible idea for me would be screwing up with people websites?

Right now the service is used by more than 5000 websites and gets just shy of 10m hits a month. If anything would happen quite a few people will know who is at fault. But when any popular internet service goes down you are just getting formal apology from nobody.

Launched, it is all working (and I even have customers). And this tiny problem.

Ask HN: Week after I launched Google releases same product. What should I do?

Hi,

I made this: http://wwwizer.com and today Google announced the same thing.

A little bit of history.

Two years ago it started as just a simple redirect. Point your naked (www-less) domain to my IP (174.129.25.170) and every request for any url without "www." in front gets redirected to the same URL but with www in front. Really 4 lines of nginx config.

It is quite handy if you host website on Google App Engine or on Google Sites because if you are using your own domain it doesn't work without www subdomain. www.example.com works, example.com - doesn't. You need to make CNAME to ghs.google.com for your domain to work but you can't do this with naked (or root, or apex) domain.

It got popular (at least in my terms). 4100 websites are using it. 350000+ redirects a day.

So two months ago I decided to "expand" and maybe get some, you know, profit.

SSL for the Cloud. New product. Yay! You get dedicated IP, SSL certificate, point your domain to this IP and it proxies your app (or any URL of your choice actually). App Engine did not have SSL support at the moment, a lot of people were complaining but it looked like there were no progress on this matter.

And today comes this "Announcing SSL for Custom Domains" http://groups.google.com/group/google-appengine/browse_thread/thread/d7fb200cbe9d2010?pli=1

So what do you think I should do now?
