I've switched the DNS service provider for sunny.garden in order to address the periodic DNS outages we've been seeing recently.

This could take some hours to take effect for everyone, possibly up to a day. It should happen transparently, but there's always the chance of glitches during the switch over, so I'll be watching closely over that time.

Over the past several days, the DNS servers for sunny.garden and peoplemaking.games have been experiencing intermittent outages, making the servers appear offline for 5-20 minutes at a time, multiple times a day. The servers are online and operating during this time, but unreachable due to the DNS outages.

I've opened a support ticket with our domain registrar, and we'll see if that goes anywhere. If the issue persists, I may have to look into paying for dedicated DNS hosting on another provider.

Your patience is appreciated in the meantime
