Wait, what? How are hosting someone else's website?

    OK, here's how it happened.

    I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.

    I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.

    Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.

    6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
