why on earth would GitBook be hosting user-generated content under their corporate gitbook.com domain? You mean like news.ycombinator.com, nytimes.com, facebook.com or most blogs or forums ever created? Also their entire business is serving user domains so if that goes down customers don't care about their marketing site, though the email vanishing would be annoying. What's to stop google doing this with any regular domain with user comments or content though? I blame the registrar - having heard this horror story I'd never host with google domains.
