Hike Domain Security

note: >-
  Hike Private Limited wound down completely in September 2025 after India's Promotion
  and Regulation of Online Gaming Act, 2025. The DNS zone for hike.in is still published
  (Route 53), but the origin behind it is gone: every HTTPS request returns a Google
  Front End 502 and the wildcard certificate expired on 2026-07-01. Every developer-facing
  subdomain that ever appeared in Certificate Transparency (platform.hike.in, hub.hike.in,
  im.hike.in, faq.hike.in, support.hike.in, press.hike.in, shop.hike.in, discourse.hike.in)
  is now NXDOMAIN. This record captures the residual posture of a decommissioned estate,
  not a running service.
