interior.gov now redirects visitors off its own domain to www.doi.gov→A federal page sending visitors off its own domain changes who actually serves them.
A public record of who runs the federal web — and what quietly changes when no one is looking.
Daylight reads already-public data — the federal .gov ownership registry, certificate transparency logs, live page source — and keeps a timestamped, source-linked record of it. Reporters can subscribe to a name; anyone can ask who owns a .gov and whether it’s watching them.
