It's owned by YC now. We got it earlier this year. That's why it redirects to HN!

Couldn't strike a deal with lanxiongchuanmeiyouxiangongsi for hn.com?

It's convenient, but I've developed muscle memory to just type news.ycombinator over the last 10 years, so I guess it doesn't matter much for me. When I first discovered the site, I definitely had to google 'hacker news' in order to find it consistently, however, so maybe someone else can get good use out of it.

You mean type 'n' and hit enter.

host.io shows 65 other domains that re-direct to ycombinator.com. Can't search specifically for ones that re-direct specifically to news.ycombinator.com afaik https://host.io/ycombinator.com Particularly enjoyed ireallylikechicken.com that redirects to an HN thread talking about squatting that domain

With a different registrar to ycombinator.com, this is likely not owned by Y Combinator, and therefore difficult to trust that it won't start being malicious in the future.

It's been registered for a very long time too. I recently launched a hacker news app for iOS and am using hackernews.cloud for the various backend services (favicons, summaries, read-time, etc)
