Pinboard (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinboard_(website)) seems to be seriously down, like the domain can't even be located and an email to the support email address I got when I signed up in January 2026 bounced immediately with the error "Host or domain name not found".

I appreciated the low key UI that reminded me of the old del.icio.us site, which the owner of Pinboard bought in 2017 but never restored to my knowledge. I also like that it was a paid service so I wasn't the product, but since then I heard some rumblings that maybe I should have listened to. If it does come back up I'll back up my saved bookmarks.

I did find an email address for the owner, Maciej Ceglowski, and that didn't bounce, at least yet.

If anyone has any more data, let me know.

I got an email reply from the owner:
I’m so sorry for the outage. The domain failed to automatically renew, which is why the site went offline. I have renewed the domain manually, but there is a delay while the DNS records update, and unfortunately it has taken a few hours so far.

I actually heard more or less the same thing on another thread I found with the #pinboard tag. It's not back yet, for me, though, but it sounds like it very likely will be tomorrow.

It's back. It may have been back for hours, but I was asleep (Hawaii timezone). I downloaded a backup (that's a tab under settings).
