  Live probes of getctrl.co hosts on 2026-08-13, plus the provider's own acquisition post

note: >-
  There is no API lifecycle to record here — Ctrl never published a developer API — so
  this file records the PRODUCT lifecycle instead, and deliberately wires no StatusPage
  and no Deprecation pointer, because Ctrl publishes neither.

      SOFT 404 — the host answers HTTP 200 with a 195-byte Apache "404 Not Found" body.
      The marketing homepage no longer resolves; only deep pages (/pricing, /blog,
      /terms, /privacy-policy) still render.

      SUBDOMAIN NO LONGER CTRL-OPERATED. The former application host now serves
      "PAUS188", an Indonesian online-gambling portal on Hostinger/LiteSpeed
      (Last-Modified 2024-06-19), pulling assets from aset.universalaset.cloud. Every
      sign-up / login / "Try Ctrl Free" call-to-action on the surviving marketing pages
      still points here.

    status: NXDOMAIN
    observed: No API host has ever resolved for this domain.
