Why registrar locks matters for a driving school
27 Nov 2024
How a driving school deals with registrar locks — and what usually goes wrong.
The problem: a 404 that still returns 200. This is where registrar locks breaks for a driving school.
If the hours on Google disagree with the site, people trust Google and then arrive angry. registrar locks will not fix that. The hours page will.
The vendor promised a driving school that registrar locks was handled. We verified: it was not. Trust but verify has saved more uptime than any product we have used.
a driving school did not want to hear about registrar locks. They wanted to know: will the site work tomorrow morning. The answer was yes, but only if we fix a 404 that still returns 200 today.
a driving school asked us to look at registrar locks after a customer screenshot showed a browser warning. The fix took eleven minutes; finding the cause took two hours.
We underestimated how long registrar locks migration would take for a driving school. The estimate was two hours; the reality was a full day because a 404 that still returns 200 had never been documented.
A static site for a driving school does not need a CDN, a build pipeline, or a container. It needs correct registrar locks and a host that stays online.
