thus I don't steal anything.
there is no even server hosting the domain.
nslookup could give you a hint

- brlewis 19y agoWhen a DNS client gets a CNAME record back, it looks up the other name to get the IP address. So anyone who looks up the address of hackernew.ws will end up connecting to an address for news.ycombinator.com
