Infrastructure
The main server is hosted in France, at Miraty’s acquaintances’ homes, with Internet connectivity provided by the big commercial French ISP Free. A secondary name server is hosted in similar conditions using Knot DNS. Another secondary name server is hosted on a VPS from the French associative ISP Alsace Réseau Neutre using NSD.
The niv.re
registry domain is itself registered under re
, a TLD for Réunion (an overseas French region) managed by AFNIC, through the registrar Njalla.
