Amazing how many service outages are caused by doing business with GoDaddy.
I was really hoping to find out they were hosting their DNS on GoDaddy. I still want it to be true.

What does “shutting down” the domain even mean? Has to be a DNS thing, right?
Their domain expired because at some level people made some pretty boneheaded mistakes.
Whomever their actual registrar actually was (GoDaddy it seems) stopped pointing the zoom.us nameserver record (NS) at AWS Route 53 which Zoom obviously uses.
% dig +short zoom.us NS
ns-387.awsdns-48.com.
ns-1137.awsdns-14.org.
ns-1772.awsdns-29.co.uk.
ns-888.awsdns-47.net.I was really hoping to find out they were hosting their DNS on GoDaddy. I still want it to be true.
If only it were so, then they would have kind of deserved it. TIL GoDaddy wormed it’s way into administering the .us TLD on behalf of the federal government.

Companies pay MarkMonitor to NOT make these mistakes. So... GoDaddy failed?
Someone in the Zoom company management forgot to update the billing credit card for that domain, I bet you $1000. Happens all the time with our clients.
