DNS History is a DNS record archive provided by 8086 Consulting.

It was scheduled to close on July 10th, 2016, due to "funding issues".

"dnshistory.org/ will be closing down in a couple of weeks - it has been a fun project over the years thanks folks."

Also, on the main page, on the right:

"This site will shut down on the 10th July 2016 due to funding issues."

Failed archiving attempt

After ArchiveTeam started the project (2016-07-04), dnshistory.org staff shortly activated CloudFlare in order to block our access to the site.

user:bzc6p contacted them asking for cooperation, but they replied that "there is no way you can archive the >billion pages on the site and trying to do so is causing issues for other users on the site."

Since then CloudFlare seems to have been deactivated. As of 2016-08-17, the site is still up, with various queries, including search, still functioning, with the closure notice still up.
